US Immigration in Dublin Airport

T-rev

What flights now use this facility? or is it even still used?

I know the AA Chicago flight doesnt use it.

Thanks.

BuffyBot

It's still in use.

I believe, most (direct) US bound flights now use it apart from AA to Chicago, the second Continental flight of the day to Newark and Aer Lingus to Orlando/last flight to NY. I stand to be corrected though.

You must also still get your ESTA but will have to fill out the green I-94 waiver as well!

A reply from DAA :

Continental only have one flight now which always clears immigration here.

Some other flights which don’t clear immigration here are:

AA to Chicago
US Airways to Philadelphia
Aer Lingus to Boston via Shannon
Aer Lingus to Orlando/
Aer Lingus last flight to New York

Thanks to Amanda H for the information

They've obviously changed recently. I took a US Airways flight to Philadelphia in September and we cleared immigration in Dublin.

Also, no idea what the story is with ESTA. We filled out the ESTA stuff, but at immigration it wasn't mentioned and we still had to fill out the green form too.

Now a better question would be why are they allowed to do it?

Try reading the sticky at the top of the forum

ESTA is supposed to take over from the "green form" sometime in 2010

Politics I guess?

Several countries have the same agreement with the USA (Canada for example) and normally from 2010 we shall also clear customs in Ireland also !


If you have time to kill you can read the motion from the Dail from 1986 concerning the matter.

I belive US still clear immigration at DUB. CO have 2 flights to DUB on selected days, but CO127 doesnt use the facility.

US Airways does preclear these days.

You would think DAA would know that much (and about the second Continental flight)..

I just don't like the fact that the US border appears to begin in Ireland. I guess it can't be easy being so scared all the time.

That's such a francophone's mistake
My girlfriend does it the whole time too.

Don't let the Irishness slip away too far!

Even after reading it back to myself, concentrating on the bold part, I still couldn't figure out what was wrong with what I had said

I rarely speak English these days so you'll just have to forgive me

In English normally means usually. So should not be used to give an idea of the way something is supposed to happen or supposedly will happen.

In French "normalement" implies an idea of supposed to as well as usually does. And can be used in the future sense like you did.

At least that's as far as I understand.

Sorry for going WAY off topic OP

Well, I learned something new today. I hadn't a Scooby what was going on with the bold text.

Nope - it operates certain days of the week only, but it still operates!
