Dublin Airport security waiting times

They did it for the April and May bank holiday as far as I'm aware but they hadn't been doing it in recent weeks

The public accounts committee are a disgrace, all spouting off with the benefit of hindsight and trying to score points. They are actually quite nasty at times, really show their colours. Lynn Boylan on now, some wagon.

yer man in the Chair thinks he is prosecuting in a Murder Trial. " how many of this / how many of that / can you guarantee / give free water / here's the weather forecast / .."... surprised he didn't ask Dalton for next weeks Lotto numbers

Triage is not going to work

There is nowhere for people to go.

Bearing in mind and that the DAA claim that DUB has the second busiest bus terminus in Ireland and that is actually just an open area with some bus stop signs, I wouldn't be too hopeful about portable toilets and rain cover.

The media has a short memory, we've been getting examples of massive DAA incompetence for years, be it security, safety incidents, cleaning, building and infrastructure. It needs a good clean out and restructuring with all the deadwood in management let go. Of course all that needs leadership...

It completely doesn't add up. Travelling to Spain with a check-in bag on Monday and the info is as follows:

• arrive to the airport not later than 2.5+1=3.5h in advance
• but we won't let you in (to drop your bag even) until it is 2.5h to your flight
• Ryanair says they will open facilities for bag drop only 2h before your flight --> so you cannot start queueing for security probably until 1h to your flight, if you are lucky
• boarding closing 30min before departure so not much time left for your security check queueing process

A nobel prize to somebody who can figure out how to follow up all the above in one go.

15k pax out in wave 1 this morning and it looks to have gone very well. Max queue time in T1 was 45 mins at 4am. 30 mins seemed to be the average there. t2 between 25-35.

Wave 1 tomorrow has 16k pax passing through. Who knows, maybe telling people not to arrive hours before actually works

Just went through T1 there, there was no significant queue and I was clear of security in under 15 minutes,the way it should be.

This message from Ryanair is indeed very confusing. Think they are covering bases by wording it that you need to be through security 2.5 hours early.

On Saturday I arrived to bag drop maybe 2 hours 35 before flight and was getting a message that system was busy and I needed to wait. Other’s bags were going through. Not sure if it was coincidence but once I got to 2.5 hours my bag was taken by the system. I’d expect a different message if I was dropping it too early but the fact it took it bang on 2.5 before lead me to believe I couldn’t drop it earlier anyway.

Advice sought! Travelling on Swiss to Geneva at 08:00 hrs on Saturday. DAA advises that Swiss open check-in/bag drop 2.5 hours prior to departure. So I am assuming that the earliest I could check a bag in is 05.30?

I am planning to be in the terminal 1 by 05:00 hrs - would this be sufficient?

Any regular Swiss fliers out there? As Swiss are owned by Luftanasa, any chance could use the Luftanasa auto bag drop machines?

How do you mean belts? How many check in desks/bag drop belts?

Check-in for Swiss and Lufthansa is at the same desks. The desks will have to be open for the 05:55 Frankfurt flight so you should be ok to arrive at 05:00.

Just posted this on another thread:

Latest info from Dublin Airport re check-in and bag drop in T1. It says 4 hours pre flight for Ryanair. Presumably this is to cater for the current issues as it's normally 2 hours.

That's unfortunately not accurate.

Ryanair bag drop is still running at 2.5hrs prior to departure
