    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.

    How come?

    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?

    It doesn't get you to a separate security row like other airports but just gets you closer to the front of the usual large queues.

    It can be helpful with early morning flights.

    Free Dublin airport fast track access and a newspaper

    Can't get this working on my phone. If I use my girlfriends phone, will I be able to use the code without having to have her phone with me when I go to the airport?

    How is the queue in Dublin Airport for early morning flight ( eg flight departure at 6:30)?

    I used to catch a 6:45am flight on Weekdays morning and on a Monday and Friday the queue in Terminal 2 would always be busy, so you just have to persevere. Remember that sometimes even with Aer Lingus you have to check in through T2 security buy your flight could be going from T1 so a long walk afterwards.

    Can someone post a link to where we can use the code we've been given. Bit green here in Mayo😨

    As far as I know you present your fast track voucher to WH Smith.

    Thanks Berty.

    Do you know if the T1 is also busy at 6:45 during weekend? or it's mostly during weekdays when it's busy?

    From Dublin Airport site:
    Please note: “The term Fast Track boarding channel” refers to the fast track entrance only and does not infer faster passage through the security check.

    From T&C:
    3. Fast Track Entrance Door and Operational Times: The term "fast track entrance" refers to the boarding card entrance door at the fast track entrance. Fast track does not infer faster security clearance. Opening hours for the fast track entrance are from 05.00 hrs to 20.00 hours and may at times operate between the hours of 04.00 hrs to 22.00 hrs but this is not guaranteed. In the event of unplanned closures or disruption of the fast track operation Airport Club will investigate all issues in this matter and will update members as appropriate.

    Likely will be at the weekend as all Ryanair traffic goes through here amognst others.

    Went through T1 recently on a Thursday at 12pm and it was about 20mins and some people were freaking out so leave time for delays.

    The delays in worldwide security are that somehow people forget that there's 1,000 people behind them and take their time at the belt.

    This voucher will get you closer to the backs of their heads and I've seen times where there's no queue as such so doesn't matter whether you're fast track or not. Better have it that not though when free.

    Nonsense! I use it regularly..its a separate queue in both T1 and T2. I used it this morning for a 6.35am flight, arrived at the airport at 6am.

    And re the free code fast track worked for me..2 codes received!


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 7,442 Mod ✭✭✭✭XxMCRxBabyxX


    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?

    Any answer for this? If I put down one time and arrive earlier/later will it stop me being able to use it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭gar32


    It worked for me but can I bring wife & 2 kids with me on it or do I need more? Link to T&C would be great :)
