Dublin Airport

Passengers flying from Dublin Airport are now being advised to arrive 2 hours before departure if travelling on a short haul journey and 3 hours for a long haul flight.

However, the DAA advise you should still allow up to one more hour if you have to check in a bag.

Please ensure you allow enough time when planning your journey with us to the airport.
