DublinAirport: Security --> T1 query

fantastic98

Hi all. Does anyone know how long it takes to walk from security check-in at Dublin airport to T1. Any info appreciated. Cheers.

Atlantic Dawn

About 12-15 minutes from the time you clear security until you are at the gate. Security time can vary from 5 minutes to 30 minutes at peak.

Tip - Don't put your username as the thread title, it's bloody irritating and pointless, put the topic in it eg Dublin Airport question, Dublin Airport security question, Question on Dublin Airport etc.

Hi Atlantic dawn. Thanks for answer. I'm a bit claustrophobic so am wondering does the walk to the gates take place in those tunnel like efforts I've seen on YouTube. Cheers Kevin.

Yes that's them, they look like this, theres a travellator and then walking space to the left, very wide....

I'm not sure which gates SAS fly from, but it won't be down a long tunnel, as that leafs to the Ryanair gates. (Which isn't a narrow tunnel anyway).

It is probably the 200 numbered gates, which would be no more claustrophobic than a shopping centre.

SAS use the 100 gates

Do they? I thought that was Ryanair only.

It isn't claustrophobic though fantastic 98, it is a tunnel, but a very wide glass one and more of a corridor on stilts than a tunnel. Certainly nothing like the old cigar tubes they had at Heathrow.

Also Air Canada, Transavia, Norwegian, GermanWings if my memory serves me correctly!

All those and a few others when 300 gates are full.

Air Canada use the 300 gates. The charter airlines usually use the 100 gates as well but they occasionally use the 200 or 300 gates.

BA use the 200 gates in the morning when the 300 gates are busy.

Luxair also oddly use the 100 gates; being the only 'premium' airline to do so.

It might help, if you're claustrophobic, to know there are four travelators on the way, so once you get to the third, you're almost there.

You may even be able to speak nicely to the young man who mans the golf buggy style thing they use for people with mobility issues and he might whisk you up there.
He generally waits at the terminal end of the walkway to the 100 gates.
