Land. Connect. Depart.
All our Flight Connection gates are under one roof, so no shuttles needed. Whether it's a layover with the same airline or you're connecting via separate bookings, here are some tips to get from one flight to another.
Dublin Airport Connection Guide
Before you fly: have your boarding pass for your onward flight from Dublin. Otherwise, you might have to exit and re-check in with your airline.
When you land: follow the "Flight Connections" signs and have your documents ready for inspection.
Baggage reclaim: if your luggage hasn't been checked through to your final destination, follow the 'Baggage Reclaim' signs, collect your luggage, and head to check-in after customs.
Find your gate: Use the flight number on your boarding pass to locate your gate on the Flight Information screens displayed throughout the terminal. Follow the signs towards your gate and head on your way.

Self-connecting Passengers
If you have connecting flights with two separate bookings, you're considered a self-connecting passenger. Here's a quick guide to get you from one flight to another.
With checked-in luggage:
Head to Baggage Claim, collect any checked-in luggage and go through customs.
Check the Flight Information Screens to see which terminal your flight is departing from. T1 and T2 are a five-minute walk apart.
Check in with your airline at your relevant terminal, head through security, and enjoy your trip.
With carry-on luggage only:
Follow the “Flight Connections” signs in both terminals—unless you’re travelling outside 06:00–13:00hrs through Terminal 1. In this case, exit through Baggage Reclaim and go through security.
