At The Airport

OCTOBER BANK HOLIDAY ADVICE FOR PASSENGERS TRAVELLING FROM DUBLIN AIRPORT

More than 250,000 passengers are expected to travel through Dublin Airport this Bank Holiday Weekend from Friday 23rd to Monday 26th October 2009.
Over 1,700 flights will arrive and depart during this period including 50 charter flights, mainly to sun destinations such as Canary Islands and mainland Spain.

Passengers are advised to be in the terminal building at least 90 minutes before their flight departure time irrespective of whether they are checking in at the airport or have checked in on-line.  A further 30 minutes should be factored in if passengers are using one of the long-term car parks.

Passengers are also advised to prepare for security screening in advance by removing laptops from cases, belts, outer jackets and sharp objects from hand luggage.  Information regarding EU Aviation Security regulations concerning liquids are available on www.dublinairport.com and passengers are advised to familiarise themselves with these BEFORE setting out on their journey to the airport.

Additional staff will be on duty in key operational areas throughout the busy weekend as well as our Customer Care teams who are here to help smooth the way for passengers and to offer advice on preparation for security including EU security restriction concerning liquids.

Ends
22nd  October, 2009
