The mayhem at Dublin Airport was no different on Monday morning as passengers from across the country arrived at their terminals hours before departure.
Despite arriving well ahead of their scheduled take-off, hundreds of people were stuck in queues, with some reporting two-hour delays, with the knock-on effect then seen across duty-free.
The latest advice from the daa is to arrive no less than 3.5 hours before your boarding time, and so queues are beginning to form before 3am for those headed out on early morning flights.
