Airline/Airport/Travel questions and queries

is there a great outdoors or a north face or something similar airside in T1 or T2?

Depends where you're flying to, a list of places that need to be printed off is on the Ryanair website.

Which airports do not accept Ryanair's mobile boarding passes?

We accept mobile boarding passes on flights from the majority of airports on our network.
However unfortunately, some airports cannot accept mobile boarding passes yet, these airports are:

Turkey (except Dalaman airport)
Morocco

Also the following airport does not accept mobile boarding passes:

Tirana (when travelling to the UK only)

*Customers traveling from these airports must check in online and print out a paper boarding pass for their flight(s).

It’s a pretty decent hotel buffet type spread

Peacefull compared to outside and unlike the other lounges there now has a barista making proper coffee

Super apron views with rows of seats along the windows and plenty sofa seats

It can get busy prior to the Middle East flights whose business passengers get complimentary access

How common are stair problems on Ryanair flights?

Flying out of Dublin a few days ago and my gate was changed because the last plane hadn't departed due to problems with the stairs.

Another flight a few days later and I was delayed by nearly an hour because of problems with the stairs.

Mentioned it to a mate who came home on Monday and he said he was delayed too because of a problem with stairs.

Even if the flight is meant to be operated by Lauda, there's no guarantee it will be. Ryanair could easily change the aircraft type. Vienna is often operated by Lauda, but checking Flightradar it's a mix of Ryanair and Lauda. If your wife will not get on a Boeing I wouldn't risk it.

There are lots of other airlines that fly to Dublin which don't use Boeing aircraft on short haul. British Airways, Air France, Lufthansa, Swiss, Iberia, TAP, SAS, Finnair, Aegean. Other than Ryanair, it's only KLM, Norwegian and Icelandair that use Boeing.

Thanks for that, is there an easy searchable way to find out where these fly direct to from Dublin?

The Dublin Airport Wikipedia page has a table of airlines and destinations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Airport#Airlines_and_destinations

Bit of a niche question, but looking to bring some club orange over to the US soon and don't fancy having it in my checked luggage. Anyone know off hand if I can buy it after US preclearence?

Or alternatively if I could buy it after security and bring it through preclearence?

Any reason you don't want it in checked luggage?

It should be fine in check

I've brought beers, wines, spirits, Coke etc in the checked bag plenty of times without issue. Glass bottles, cans and plastic bottles.

If it’ll burst in the hold it’ll burst in the cabin. The pressure is the same. Wrap it in a bag and then a hoodie or towel as @L1011 says and you’ll be grand.

That’s probably more to do with the handling of the luggage to or from the plane than anything to do with pressure while flying

yes quite a while ago,coinciding roughly with the time BA moved to T2

You can still get Barista made coffee in the Martello,formerly known as the East lounge
