In a normal year, around about 33 million people will pass through Dublin Airport.
It's by a distance Ireland's busiest airport, and looks the part two with a pair of slick terminals and plenty of options available to those who are travelling for food and drink.
But it hasn't always been this way of course - and the official Dublin Airport social media accounts gave us a fascinating throwback this morning.
We got a glimpse at what post-war Dublin looked like thanks to the snap from the late 1940's, posted by Dublin Airport earlier.
They tweeted:
"Look - it's us when we were a chiseler/nipper/wean, or whichever charmingly endearing term you use for a child. This pic is from the late 1940s. The Éire sign on the hangar dates from The Emergency (WW2)."
They went on to explain some of the logistics around flying into Ireland at the time.
"There were 82 large white Éire signs on the coast & each was numbered. They signalled neutral Éire to air crew. However, the numbers & locations were given to the Allied powers, as a US Air Force chart of the time shows. Collinstown is marked, as is Gormanstown & Baldonnel.
"The chart noted that there were 19 "airdromes" in Northern Ireland "suitable for landing four engine aircraft". It added that "pilots should not land in Éire except in emergency conditions involving the safety of their aircraft".
"It said Collinstown (Dublin Airport) was a triangular field that "should be O.K. for all types of aircraft"."
The Irish Aviation Authority chimed in with a response to the pic by rolling back the years too
"Ah she's a darlin little thing alright. We were there too, keeping all the planes moving up and down safely - good times"
While another user added:
"The original building is fabulous. Designed by Garrett Fitzgerald's brother, I think."
