The queues seen at Dublin Airport over the weekend have caused concern for many passengers as over 1,000 people missed their flights due to the delays.
The lengthy queues have prompted large numbers of travellers to arrive at the airport hours in advance of their flight’s departure time to avoid any complications.
However, Dublin Airport’s Media manager Graeme McQueen suggested passengers still arrive at the airport just 2.5 hours ahead of a short-haul flight and 3.5 hours ahead of a transatlantic flight, with an additional half-hour added for baggage check as arriving too early can cause bottlenecks.
