Dublin Airport Lounge- Which would you recommend?

I think @Stark was referring to the 2hr limit mentioned in the indo article,as was I

I suspect the author of the article isn’t in the Dublin lounges very often and isn’t even aware that the terms and conditions aren’t policed,never mind mentioning that

I doubt he’s in those lounges often,he’s not Simon Calder

Secondly the point being discussed is whether that 2hr limit is ever policed

Last year I was in DAA lounges probably about 70 times,the only policing I ever saw was crowd control on entry to the old T1 ie people refused entry due it being full

The Liffey Lounge is regularly crowd controlled outside

Never ever have I seen the 2hr limit policed

I don’t know why you are complaining about that point being made,it’s central to the title of the article

If you are long enough in the phoenix to get 2 meals,an afternoon tea and some booze prior to a 3 or 4hr flight on a holiday,it’s certainly worth it,no question

The 2hr limit is only a ‘condition’ on paid for access anyway

It doesn’t apply to frequent flyer cards or business class pax

Imagine having a dragon going round timing and asking up to 300 people anyway at the buffet how long they’ve been there ,it’d be as much impossible as ridiculous

you would not be refused as business class if it’s the airlines contract lounge

1st to go would be paid entry

Priority pass do not currently have a contract with DAA for The Phoenix so you don’t get in there with that

You do with dragonpass which used be unlimited with Rev Ultra but they’re now LoungeKey since last week and only have an agreement with DAA for the awful in comparison Liffey lounge

The sheer size of the phoenix lounge means they are unlikely to be refusing entry to paid pax anymore

That’s not a refusal then but there’d be no point being in the old T1 lounge with no seat,I’d have done the same

It was often jammers

In which case they implemented entry refusal downstairs in front of the lift

I presume this was pre Phoenix,they did not refuse contracted business class pax in the olden days in my experience

They police the Liffey lounge outside all the time

Been into phoneix lounge twice in the last few weeks. Was told 2 drinks at a time up at the bar. Apart from that no limit at all

Obviously now with the much larger phoenix lounge now open it's far less of an issue especially with no priority pass in that lounge

First time in the 51st and Green post-refurb today, big improvement. Decent hot breakfast buffet and loads of coffee machines which is the biggest issue in the Aer Lingus lounge in T2.

Nice option.

Herself wants to go to a lounge, was going to book the liffey lounge as I get it free through ultra.

But I noticed if you go to book the lounge separately, it's constantly sold out, anyone know what is up with that?
