Dublin Airport Mayhem

So not much point in Fast Pass the way things have been, or has it been alrigh Mon-Fri?

Queue outside appears to be to get into departures.

Did someone say there was some kind of inflation problem in this country??

Duddnt seem like it to this poster…………..uhmmmm

Very difficult to see the sign for fast track with the throngs around it.

I had to ask. Could see people before me in outside queue, after me in fast track queue.

The DAA get off there a&% and hire people for proper wages. It is not the armies job

Theres a few isssue re cork and shannon.

1is if you need to use public transport to get to shannon or cork its crap and often doesnt serve early morning departures. There are hourly buses ftom cork, limerick and galway to dublin airport. I personally know of people pre covid who have gotten the greenbus as its known to dublin airport to fly to london heathrow from limerick.so public transport to both badly needs improvement

Both airports dont have a great choice outside of uk and canary islands. Cork the better of the 2 they have services paris and Amsterdam

Also airlines often dont announced summer routes till feb/mar when most would be booking/plan in jan.

Both airports need more routes.shannon should be doing better now theres the limerick/galway motorway and M7.

For anyone travelling esp with young kids or eldery both airports are a dream to use. Id advise anyone to use either where possible.with the new scanners for security in shannon no longer have to take liquids out of ypur baggage.Both airports should have flights to major european hubs. Would take pressure of dublin for sure and airlines encouraged to extend their seasonal offerings. Given the runway advantage of shannon over the other regionals shannon should really but pushing for a route east too given the amount irish in dubai, oz and the growing population from India in the midwest

But you can walk from T1 to T2 Airside (ie on the far side of security). I did it in March. (As in, I went through security in T2 and boarded a Ryanair flight that left from T1). The question is whether you can get from Airside arrivals to departures.

Exactly cork and shannon are so stress free compared to dublin even befoe this mayhem. Im only 40 mins from shannon myself would love to be able to use it more hopefully the airports outside of dublin can gain from this mess

They need to stop people arriving too early and only allow access to the airport itself if your flight is within 3 hours.

Dublin, Manchester, Stansted and Birmingham all having issues this weekend. Birmingham worst of all.

People with flights at 11am arriving at 5am and 6am causing the problems.

This leads to panic and even more people arriving too early. Causing more delays and more panic and then more people arrive too early.

So refusal of entry to the airport if your departure is more than three hours away.

We were swabbed for that when we tried to ask for directions to the baggage claim. Nit a big deal but its over the top.

When my tray was taken to be re scanned I assumed it would be brought back to me after. Nope they just move on and you're forgotten about. I was standing there waiting & was just ignored.

Atleast the last time I went through they seemed competent , this time they were like headless chickens
