Dublin Airport Mayhem

Sure it's their culture, Boss.

The Irish Times, the Independent, the Examiner, the Mirror and others all have the story.

Wouldn't have been even asked to stop, they'd of split their heads open with a baton without a second thought. I seen them flake a protester who wouldn't move on the streets of madrid.

That's an international airport there should be zero tolerance to this crap.

It's in the hands of the Gardai and the courts now. Commenting on it can have legal repercussions. Best to get back to security queues etc.

I'm traveling the bank holiday weekend on a dreaded 6.30am flight. Last time we arrived at the airport at 3.30am. I'm hoping 4/4.30 will be ok now

Does anyone know if the East Lounge is open to every passenger, regardless of airline? I’m figuring it’s better value than the standard T1 lounge for an extra 5 quid (as they provide hot food), but I don’t want to risk being turned away due to my “steerage” status of flying with Ryanair?!

Wishful thinking. No it’s not open to riff raff ;)

Ha that’s what I was thinking! Thanks anyway

The airports purpose is to accommodate travelers 😂😂😂

That's incorrect anyone can pay in.

No one can give you accurate info on what the airport will be like in a months time. 11:30 on a Thursday isn’t anywhere near peak times though

Arrived at the airport just before 6:30 this morning and there was a huge queue for security. It was showing a 30 minutes wait on the screen but the queue was snaking around some check in desks so could take longer than that. Myself and a few others were making our way to the fast track area and an over zealous security guard was calling us back as he thought we were skipping the queue. They have so much of that tape all over the place that there is no direct path to fast track so it’s like a maze trying to get to the entrance…almost like they don’t want you to find it.

Anyway I got there and got through in 5 minutes. €7 well spent for sure.

Now I’m in the oasis of calm that is the East Lounge and there are only a handful of people in here. Again, well worth it to get away from the chaos of waiting around in the main terminal.

Ryanair still enforcing masks on board. The cynic in me thinks it’s a deliberate ploy to get people to buy their food/drink so they can take it off.

Does Ryanair have automatic baggage drop offs that are running very early in the mornings?

Flying from Dublin Airport this year really takes the shine off heading away.

Yeah it's only when the country still requires it which is how it generally works on most airlines.

Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany still require masks so that covers a lot of flights from Dublin.
