Airline/Airport/Travel questions and queries

Does FR require a passport for its DUB KIR flights ?

Looking to bring 2x Bottle of Jameson after security at T2 onward dest is ORD then BNA, Would there be any issues regarding doing this ?

It's for people we know in the US

presumably you’d be purchasing duty free,they will or can be sealed in special duty free bags

You will land and connect in the states as domestic so won’t have issues there provided you are connecting airside which is likely

As long as the 2 litres are within USA duty free limits which I think they are,you’ll be fine

Yoy can also buy them after CBP too. So no need to bring anything trough security

Any time I've gone to the US i cleared CBP at the arrival airport, So this will be a first for myself clearing at Dublin. Do i need to be there earlier than a regular flight to clear CBP and is there a bar/restaurant you can have something to eat prior to boarding.

Yeah I’d arrive at the airport earlier than usual (3 hrs is recommended), CBP can be very busy at times. There is a small bar and a few kiosks once trough and a small “duty free” shop. Not a massive selection but you’d mentioned Jameson which you’ll get for sure at it.

From memory it's a 0930L departure will make sure we are there for 0630 so. Thanks for all the replies.

the “recommended” time is purely so you’ll spend more time and money in the airport IMO

I understand plenty don’t like to feel rushed at all, but I don’t like waiting around in airports so I’d nearly always try and take at least a third off their recommended time

Wthat's the secondary screening? from memory going through post 4 sometimes you get a random drug swap or pin check and that was about it.

Ah right i remember one of the lads from Scotland getting pulled at MCO by immigration officials. We were all on student pilot visa at the time.

Correct me if I'm wrong arrive at T2 enter the terminal and turn left for the US airline check in desks, We will have 2x bags to be checked in. After that head upstairs through security then head towards the 400 stands. While flying with EI I've noticed the CBP signs so head down the stairs. So when people go down the stairs to clear CBP how do they get to whatever airbridge the flight is departing from? Do the US bound flights still have the lads standing around the aircraft and check in desks.

Mine is my name somehow is linked to a lad on the OFAC list. Even the age, location and DOB are completely different.

Have a redress number from DHS which doesn't seem to do much

I believe AA have their own operation. They handle themselves so to speak.
