Yep, plenty of places open OP. There are so many 6am flights these days, the airport will be hopping even at that early hour.

Any idea how long security takes in Dublin? My bus arrives at 0630 tomorrow morning and my gate closes at 0705. I know it will be tight but will I be alright do you reckon? Bit late to change it now I guess.

I'd be on an earlier bus if I were you.

That's really stretching it in either Terminal at that time of the morning.

As the others have said, your chances are little to none. Even if you book airport genie fast track security you have absolutely no wiggle room for any delays on the road or in the airport at the busiest time of the day. Did you read your airline 's airport advice?

Your chances of making it are very slim, as the airport will be very busy at that time of day. If you run from the bus to the boarding card check, beg the other passengers at the check point to let you go ahead of them them, then beg the other passengers at the security queue to let you skip the queue there too & then run very, very fast to your gate, you may make it. But it's going to be long shot.

You won't have a prayer if you need to check in a bag. Try to avoid wearing lace up shoes, boots, belts, zip up jackets, heavy coats etc etc ,as taking them on/of will slow you down at security. Get your hand luggage ready for the security check before you get off the bus, as having to sort out liquids, lap tops, electronic goods etc etc at security will slow you down even further.

I'd really try & get an earlier bus if I were you.
