Holidaymakers who arrive too early for their flights at Dublin Airport will be put in a designated holding area to avoid chaotic queues this bank holiday weekend.
The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) will outline a plan at the Dail’s Transport Committee on Wednesday as its CEO, Dalton Philips is set to face a grilling over the mismanagement at the airport over the weekend when 1,400 people missed their flight.
The advice to passengers due to fly out of Dublin Airport over the coming period is to arrive at the airport at least two-and-a-half hours before the departure of short-haul flights to Europe and the UK, and at least three-and-a-half hours for long-haul flights.
