What's it like airside at DUB at the moment?

Obviously the volume of people and flights is still a lot lower than normal, has anyone passed through lately?

Are all the shops, bars and restaurants open, and what about duty free and all the Christmas stock they would normally be getting in.

Curious as miss the place, I know a real first world problem but used to do a bit of shopping there before flights as was travelling once or twice a month but not this year

Has anyone flown in the last few days? Did you get public transport to the airport or drive? Were you stopped? Out of curiosity, as the last few times we travelled since July and October we weren't stopped or asked anything (public transport)

Yea depressing really. And as said you need to have to buy over priced food to get a pint.

Partner went through last week. Duty free was open. Very few people about. Up at the gate it was possible to have a drink but you had to buy sandwiches with it.

Travelled from Edinburgh a few months ago. Edinburgh was weirdly quiet. I was the only one in security as I went through. Three or four staff just to supervise me! Dublin had a few more people but still very quiet.

Travelled in July and it was very quiet but there was still a few.

In October there was way more people, queues etc and felt a bit more normal! One bar open downstairs in Dublin Airport and all the food and shop places were open.

It is very empty but not as bad as earlier this year (see my video on youtube from June).

Most shops are open but most drink/food outlets are closed. I really like travelling in these times. I am off again on Thursday.

you can still get pints anyway, not many shops open but more than the first lockdown

Flew from DUB four weeks ago, pretty quiet compared with normal times - very few passengers. Some shops open (I got bottle of gin from one).

Are you travelling for work or pleasure

Most of shops open, but very quiet as no tourist coming through the airport. Bars closed and most of restaurants, including Burger King in both terminals are also closed. Can’t really get a pint or glass of wine, unless in the duty free or Wrights of Howth shop. The usual rush and buzz is gone, as less people and everyone are keeping distance from each other. I actually enjoyed this peacefulness.
I’m sure it will get busier around Christmas and they will decorate both terminals as usual.

Friend went through last week, sent a WhatsApp saying "it's dead here" along with a picture of a pint.

Maybe the pint was flat!
