That's an absolute mess [copy and paste into text exit or something first ]

However, as you'll pre-clear immigration in Dublin and your bags will be checked through you should have plenty of time outbound.

Inbound you should also be fine, your bag will be checked through etc.

oops yeah just noticed that..thanks for that they are nearly 200 euro cheaper than aerlingus direct so for an extra couple of hours its worth it.

That's a great price tbh, I'd go for it. 1h 25m/1h 56m connection is nothing to worry about in PHL - especially with pre-clearance in Dublin.

Hi I just booked flights with US airways for same route with stopover time of 2 hours.
Only thing is I'm flying into Terminal A and departing from Terminal F I'm guessing I don't need to go through security etc again and all the terminals are connected?? Will that be enough time?
Sorry if this is stupid question never got a connecting flight before.

There is a shuttle bus from Terminal B which will bring you to Terminal F. You remain airslide so no need to re-clear security.

2 hours is plenty of time since Pre-Clearance is done at Dublin so you arrive into PHL as a domestic passenger.

Thanks for that!

I've just done this trip. My flight from Phili to lga got canceled because of the storm some drove up.

On the way back down our flight from lga to Phili was at 6:30 and the phili to Dublin flight was at 9:05. We got caught up in a traffic jam to take off at phili and were about 45th in line to fly taxi from our stand to take off. The flit ended up being delayed and didn't get in until 8:00. The flight itself is only about 25 mins.

We still made it to our plane for Dublin at 8:40 and we had stopped to buy stuff at the shop and went to the toilet too.

Don't worry if you miss your connection, they'll most likely out you up in a hotel anyways and you can get a flight the next day.

Not necessarily, it would depend on the reason for missing the connection and also it you are traveling on the one ticket.

They may put you on the next AVAILABLE flight but won't bump a confirmed passenger to accommodate you .

That's true. It is the one to ticket with this trip and they are actually quite good to deal with. They even offered 6 of us a flight the following day, and a hotel room due to the hurricane. We had to get to new York as soon as possible so we rented a car instead.
