meeting wife inside at baggage carasoul at Dublin T2

Washout

MY wife is flying back from india with 2 young kids and about 6 suitcases via heathrow into Dublin T2

I want to meet her to help her with luggage and kids at the baggage area as its too much to handle.

Is my best option to find the cheapest aer lingus flight to anywhere in the UK return or is there anything else i can do?

Airport Genie sounds like the answer - there's a link directly on the Dublin Airport page.

Their "luggage genie" can handle 4 full pieces of luggage for €30, and will collect it from the carousel and bring it to the car. You could hire a second genie for another €30, or maybe she could manage a trolley with 2 bags herself until she reaches you in arrivals?

I've never used it, mind you, just read about it recently.

In reality buying any flight is going to be expensive and going to be hassle getting back into the baggage hall. Your wife will collect her bags in the baggage hall and have to walk all of 30 yards before you can help her. If I was going down the road of buying a flight I would get one to Heathrow and fly back with her and the kids.

Luggage genie seems to be the way to go.

I wouldn't recommend booking a flight TBH, a few reasons spring to mind....

firstly, timings. If your flight is delayed then she will be left on her own anyway. If her flight is delayed you would be left hanging around and I don't think this would go unnoticed by airport staff.
Secondly, if she is arriving from India, emigration might find it strange that you also travelled in and out of the country in one day, on the same day as she is arriving. It might seem far fetched, but in this day and age they do check these things.

As another poster said, if you do want to get a flight, it might be best to meet her in heathrow and fly in together - at least you know you would be arriving at the same time.

This option would be better as it would meet your wife off the plane in the terminal before passport control and offer assistance all the way?
