    From today's Irish Times, text 50100 and get a code then redeem on the DAA site.

    Must request code by 26/10, for use up to 26/1/16 - limited to one per mobile number.

    Do you have to text a specific word or phrase?

    What do you need to put into the message to request the code?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,978 ✭✭✭cee_jay


    Seems to be free text. T&Cs attached.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,420 ✭✭✭✭athtrasna


    There must be a code word. I tried a random one and it didn't work


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,695 ✭✭✭December2012


    Yeah a blank text won't work.

    I tried a random word and it worked. I just chanced "fast track"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,197 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    I paid extra for this fast pass to travel through Dublin airport in a few weeks and to keep away from the normal peasants and now you lot are going to be clogging up the queue for me.

    :mad:

    There is a helpline/email but I doubt anyone would answer today.

    It says FASTTRACK on the ad, but from above sounds like it'll also work with a space in the middle. Just text that word and code comes immediately back.

    Worked for me with Fast Track (including the space). Thanks OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,626 ✭✭✭Dancor


    Is it one code per person or can I use it with my family?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,864 ✭✭✭g0g

    Says one code per mobile number and max value is one pass, but if you all have a mobile you could get one each?

    It says over 18 only so do you just leave your children in the long queue and go off on your own holidays?????:)

    worked for me also. Thanks OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,170 ✭✭✭messinkiapina


    Had to send several messages but it worked eventually. Random.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 938 ✭✭✭Ice Storm


    My parents are flying tomorrow and this worked on both their phones, thanks! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭crazyderk


    The codes wont stack so if you're booking for a family like me, you've to do separate transactions!

    thanks OP greatspot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,535 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Flying out of Dublin next month at 5.40am on a three flight trek so every minute will be appreciated. So eh, what exactly happens with Fast Track...quicker security check?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 730 ✭✭✭soirish


    "Fast track" - does not work
    "Fast Track" - works for me

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,623 ✭✭✭skeleton_boy


    When redeeming the code, it asks you for a time and date. For the time should you enter your flight time or the time you expect to be going through fast track? Or does it really matter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 214 ✭✭timbertime


    Cheers OP. FASTTRACK worked for me!

    Its supposed to be a faster way through security, but Dublin airport is the only airport I've been to where it's often slower.

    Ah, sure if it's not quicker I can always use the free Irish Times to sleep under during my six hour stopover in Frankfurt.

    "Fast Track" worked for me by the way
