Dublin Airport security waiting times

It was long yesterday morning around 6.15, longer than the security queue

Should be ok, give it an extra 30 mins if you can though, to allow for parking and it being a saturday, end of schools etc. Ryanair's strength is the automatic bag drop, it's able to handle big numbers

Is there a specific time that Ryanair bag drop opens before a flight departs? Their website does not appear to be updated - and they don't mention anything beyond 2 hrs.

Anyone know if all passengers have to go to bag drop for Ryanair? Would like to send my wife and kids through security while I do bag drop for an early flight next week.

That'll be my plan. Not having the three kids standing with me if I have to queue

You can do this by storing the passes in the wallet on your phone and scrolling through them.

Got to the airport at 3.40 am at T1 we had to go through a queue system before entering the terminal and that took 20mins

Bag drop took 15 mins.

Security took 20 mins.

There was a queue for the coffee longer than the security queue.

Was about 1 hour too early but totally hassle free so I am happy.

That's true, but, I was thinking the same thing for a flight last weekend, and thinking I'd surely be through in 30-40 mins. However they don't include the endless zig-zag walking through barriers in the car parks and the queue to get into the terminal to join said 30 minute security queue....so it's a bit meaningless to say that people get through in 30 minutes, whilst ignoring the other queuing times. Having said that, I managed car-park to post-security in under an hour, so I'm not complaining, I think they're doing a fine job under the circumstances. But you cannot depend on the 30 minutes security queue for planning your arrival time.

It was really ridiculous, we walked from the shuttle drop off, into the ground level of the multi storey car park, up and down through the barriers (as in walked all the time ,no queue) then out of that car park, up the escalator to departures level, back into the car park, zig-zag through all of that, again no actual queue, walking all the time, then across the bridge and into a queue to enter the terminal. One felt like an absolute pleb walking up and down a car park...there was no reason for it as there was no queue, all it did was add walking time to reach the final queue.

If that was through T1, then that is sleepy time. It's the morning and afternoon peaks that are the issue when all of the DUB based aircraft depart in a very confined time period.

T2 has a slightly different wave with the Trans Atlantics going off later in the morning with big loads which sees T2 busier than T1.

Re: Queuing walk to enter the terminal. They should have an ability to bypass that when not needed.

Took an hr to get through the queues to get pass security just now. 2 queues outside the airport. The one at car drop off then the one just outside airport gate. Then when you get into airport then q to to security q, then into proper security q. So guts of an hr to get through all the queues. Didn't q for burger King etc. As seemed v busy at the pubs and restaurants etc. Flight in an hr.

Flight next week at 4pm on a Thursday, usually I would get there for 2pm, but I'm considering getting there at 1pm due to queues. Has anyone had a 4pm flight recently how was T1 queues? Thanks

Took 1h20m from getting out of the taxi to being in 51st & Green on Monday 25th.

Would have been faster except they insist on joining the regular check in desk queues to get a boarding pass (otherwise I'd have been straight through to security and saved ~25 minutes as I didn't have a bag to check). I'm sure its requested by the airlines, but the staff they have in the check in queue asking you about your trip to the US annoy the shite of me. Those questions are for CBP tbh, there's so much duplication of process to get from check in to post CBP.

Twice through DUB over the weekend, was nice and clear (both late night flights). Baggage area was still a mess but I don't travel with checked in baggage so not really my area.

On this, sometimes you'll get people faffing around taking calls/making calls, tweets, insta etc. They then get to the top of the queue and are shocked to realise they have to engage their brain again. Not what you were doing but it's why the security people are over the top about phone use when getting close to the area. You, no doubt, are able to quickly close you phone and pop it into a tray but there are a lot of people who struggle with the basics out there. 😂

So they leave you in a queue for half and hour before they deign to serve you and they regulate any ability to make use of that time in the queue?

Lovely people.
