I had the misfortune of flying into DUB last Sunday. It was the airport's busiest day of the year with 86,000 pax passing through. The baggage hall was the biggest shambles I've seen. Our bags were originally supposed to be delivered on belt 4 but after a 20-30 minute nothing appeared and then an announcement was made that the bags would be on belt 2. There are two things they like to do a lot at DUB at short notice - change baggage belts and change departure gates. But this time it was impossible to get from belt 4 to belt 2 due to the sea of people travelling in the other direction meeting the people going in the other direction. Result - gridlock! Failte go hEireann.
Also, I always find myself clearing and cleaning tables in the restaurants just so I can get a table to eat at. They charge enough for the food, they could at least clean up for their customers.
End of senile rant.
