Ryanair to Ryanair conection

RonanM123

As in the title I have a FR to FR connection tomorrow at DUB, 3 hours, boarding passes and hand baggage only.

Question is can I exit via flight connections and be left up on departure level to make my way back to 100 gates or do I have to exit arrivals head to departures and do security.

Thanks

You'll have to clear security as you're not checked through. You have immense amounts of time for that assuming the arriving flight is OK.

If it's before 1pm. Use the flight connections door by belt 1. Thats closed after 1pm, so you'd have to go out and up to departures.

There's obviously some good reason for this, apart from the lad who closes the door finishes his shift then or something right?

Haven't a clue, makes no sense to me. There should be a flight connections corridor before immigration anyway in T1 (as there is in T2), but there isn't. I suppose that's because Ryanair are the primary user of T1 and they don't offer connections.

yer man!

I was wondering about Ryanair connections the last day and why they don't seem to be a thing compared to flying in the US for example, where many of people require a connection in their journey. Is it because it would be more hassle waiting on passengers making a connection compared to just shifting the liability to them by getting them to purchase two individual flights?

It's to do with liability. As it stands, Passenger books to ryanair flights, 1st one is delayed, so passenger misses connection. Not ryanair's problem as they don't do connections.

If they did, then they would assume cost and compensation for missed connections, etc.

There's also the (major) complication that interlining transfer bags for passengers with an onward connection is something that Ryanair are not at all set up to do, (they're not alone in that respect) and it can be a major hassle if the inbound flight is late, and requires extra staff to do it properly and not delay the rest of the incoming bags, or the outbound flight. Ideally, interline bags need to be loaded separately in the aircraft so that they can all be dealt with easily on the arrival unload, but it then means that one or more people have to be taken away from handling the flight to deliver the bags to the onward connection airline, and with the way that security is now, that can be a significant hassle, in that some airlines won't accept a transfer bag without it going through a rescan to ensure that it hasn't been tampered with while it was being processed by the ground handlers, which is another potential delay to the process.
