Dublin Airport Mayhem

They seem to have disabled that feature on the chat bot now also. Really are going out of their way to make sure passengers cannot inform themselves.

There's two garda vettings now, a 'quick one' within 2 weeks... and a second one 2-3 months later. Staff are coming in now after the first check, but they'll be escorted out if they fail the second 'deep' check. What that involves beyond the first... /shrug -- check your twitter to see you didn't post mean things? :p

Stupid, but there's a lot of fresh faces here now so things should be picking up in the coming weeks.

I can never understand when the q is massive at immigration the self scans are closed, is it some union thing?

Thats an absolute disgrace. So we just have to guess?!

I see they’ve stopped selling fast track on the Dublin airport website, yet you can still freely purchase it as an add on through your Ryanair booking..

Not providing a service but then not providing info… piśs poor.

yea I’m trying to get fast passes for 9 days time and they’re marked as sold out. Clearly just overwhelmed, I booked Aer Lingus so can’t add it easily like you can with ryanair

The live times were accurate enough. But now we dont know if its 2hrs or 5 minutes!

My brother flew in out this morning. 15 min queue and was waiting for 2 hours on the far side...

If fast track is gone what are people with a physical disability supposed to do ? Wait to fall down track ?

‘Assistance’ won’t be required in most situations , not all people with a disability require assistance…though NOT standing in a Q for 20-??? minutes will be ‘required’…hence the want for fast track..

i see the DAA determine now that the passenger needs to contact the airline, travel agent or tour operator directly to get… so that’s the route that we’ll need to go…. Amateur hour.

That’s the way they operate, offload all or as much as they can to the airlines.

Why are we paying ‘airport service charges’ so?

They need to take responsibility for something surely, other than the very basics.

That indeed may be necessary but the preferable situation would be that the DAA have their shît together and people with requirements are of the ability to book them without trawling through the darkest most inaccessible recesses of the DAA website to then get referred by said function to OCS who in turn refers you back to your airline or travel agent to book with them….

I read that DAA have been awarded a contract to run the airport in Jeddah. I thought this was an early April Fool joke, which was announced on 27 March. If DAA got the contract I'd hate to see what the underbidder airports were like.

I used it last week with the card- place it picture side up in top left corner of screen and it worked, guy working there showed me.
