Dublin Airport Self-connecting Flights

roosh · 26-05-2022 8:13am #1

I'm just wondering if anyone has recently been through Dublin airport and had to do a self-connecting flight?

I'll be flying to Dublin from Kerry & the onward (all with Ryanair) and I'm wondering if I will have to go through security at Dublin airport.

I will only have carry-on baggage and will already have checked in, so I will have my boarding pass.

The website says self-connecting passengers will have to go through security, which is what I'm going on at the moment, however, it also says "please proceed to the baggage hall to retrieve your bags".

I know Ryanair are not a connections airline, but I'm wondering if anyone has direct experience of this and if it makes a difference that I will only have carry-on.

You have to leave via the baggage hall and re-clear security.

Thanks L1011, for those that are not self-connecting, do you know if they have to pass through passport gates?

EDIT: sorry, boarding card scanners

For actual sold flight connections.

Dublin is set up with full inbound / outbound separation (well, assuming the contact gates in the 30s terminal aren't in use) whereas most airports that you can just make your own multi airline connections in have mixed inbound and outbound

For those do you have to pass through a boarding pass scanner?

Yes.

I wonder is this because Ireland isn't a Schengen country?

No. Ryanair’s T&Cs.

I think the whole T1 isn't designed to changing flights, despite of the airline. Am I wrong?

I haven’t been in DUB for a very long time but back in the day T1 did have a transfer facility. Whether it does now or not I can’t say. In any case Ryanair describe themselves as a Point to Point airline and won’t accept responsibility for missed connections between their own flights.
