Dublin Airport says following one rule will ensure you're on time for a flight

Dublin Airport has confirmed that no passengers heading through departures have missed their flights as a result of queuing at security, as long as they have heeded recent advice.

Many frustrated passengers have taken to Twitter and other social media platforms claiming to have missed their flights. However, the daa says that throughout the month of June, 93% of passengers were through security in the terminals in less than 45 minutes.

In a statement to the Irish Mirror, a daa spokesperson said: “No passenger who has heeded our travel advice has missed a flight due to queues at security in recent weeks.

“Indeed, through the month of June so far, 93% of passengers have got through security in less than 45 minutes, with 77% getting through in less than 30 minutes.”

As the summer season heats up and thousands of passengers get ready to head to sunnier climates, Dublin Airport officials continue to ask passengers to abide by the existing advice.

“All departing passengers are advised to arrive at the airport 2.5 hours before a short-haul flight and 3.5 hours prior to a long-haul flight, with an additional one hour advised if checking in a bag,” the spokesperson said.
