Travelling with checked bags or in a group? Arrive a little earlier to keep things stress-free. And don't forget to check with your airline for the latest bag drop and desk opening times.

Online Check-in
If you've already checked in online, just head straight to security. Make sure to leave enough time to pass through screening comfortably.
Once you're through, keep an eye on the Dublin Airport App for updates on your gate and boarding time. Download the app through the Apple App or Google Play stores. You can also use the flight info screens around the airport instead.
