    Hi
    A question for someone else, a young person who wants to leave from Dublin at 6am and has a lift to Dublin arriving the previous evening about 7pm.

    As he doesn't want to spend his precious money on a hotel, is it feasible to just crash on seats or in a corner somewhere at the airport or will he get moved on?

    Thanks for any info.

    I've done it it T2 for the same reasons (late inbound flight and wanted to get first bus in the morning so a hotel was a waste) and I got no hassle. He won't be the only one there, either!

    Rest Zones - In Terminal 1, once you pass through security, pass through the duty free shopping, then past a restaurant on your left. You'll come to a Starbucks with an escalator up to more restaurants. On the right is a rest zone with soft chairs and pods for sleeping.

    Reviews on the pods are mixed.

    Thanks for the info anyway, I've let him know, along with the possible problems.
    It's not for a couple of weeks yet, I'll let you know when I hear how it went.

    Will they be able to pass through security that early? I seem to remember my boarding pass scanning as, 'Too early' or something along those lines when I also tried to pass through to sleep several hours before my flight.
    Once midnight passes the boarding pass should work. The only thing is security manned at that time?
