  1. I have a mate of mine visiting next week and I keep trying to convince him to get there early, he’s convinced 3 hrs will be enough – I doubt it.

  2. We had friends over from UK this weekend who were travelling back early this morning. They had no bags to check just walk on stuff. They got there 3.5 hours before the flight and missed it. One with a disability pass was left waiting 2.5 hours outside the airport and almost 2.5 hours inside despite showing pass etc….. Absolute disgrace. Apparently its carnage there today. Why would anyone want to visit when met with this. Ridiculous at this stage and an embarrassment to the country that this is an international airport 🙄

  3. Insane that they started making checked bags free and charging for carry ons. That policy requires a lot more check-in staff and baggage handlers, which clearly they didn’t hire. This is one (inefficient) consequence of greed.

  4. We flew out from Dublin to Nice at noon last Wednesday and went through with no issues. Bag check in took about 10 mins and security about 50. Is this mayhem only for flights around weekends?

  5. This looks like T1, what is T2 looking like, i have relatives flying out next week to the USA with Aer Lingus, they are planning on being there a good 5 hours before the flight, its crazy that the Irish Government haven’t gotten involved in this, clearly something has broken down at Dublin Airport.

  6. I’m flying on Friday but I don’t have check in. Could I go through the security in T2 and then move to T1?

  7. There should be a push to get some more traffic through cork and Shannon too, those airports are operating very smoothly and could do with the extra traffic . I’m sure alot of people will think twice on using Dublin after experiences like these.

    We have a two year old and couldnt spend this long in queues the stress levels would be massive , between naps , nappy changes , food , water it’s all a nightmare.

  8. Why are so many people travelling now?if it’s like this, God help us when people start travelling for summer holidays in July/August.

  9. Someone seriously need to be hauled in front of the government to explain how this shit is happening. They knew this was coming, 5 months ago!!

  10. Do you still have to wait in all this even if you have checked in and carry on luggage only ?? As in you don’t have to check in a bag ?

  11. Are the queues at Shannon similar?
    If not, it seems like the drive might almost be worth it.

    (I’m American, so a drive around ~3 hours is no big deal)

  12. We were lucky to book the quick pass for security yesterday wasnt to bad once you got into the airport building itself
