Apologies if this has been done already, but i was wondering what was the thinking behind the new terminal at DUB. I arrived at street level, then had to get in a lift to descend a floor to the check-in. Thereafter a lift journey was needed to get to the 2nd floor for security, then an escalator up to the 3rd floor to get a lift to the 2nd floor, from where i had to walk to ANOTHER lift to the 1st floor and then along the concourse to the gate. The signposting although there was very small and only obvious after you knew the way. There seemed to be quite a few older travellers having difficulties.

I've flown from hundreds of airports and in all that time, even in terminals under construction, where unhelpful diversions are necessary, i've never experienced such an illogical and passenger unfriendly system. What were the planners at the DAA thinking ? What were the architects thinking ? Anyone have any thoughts on this ? Thanks
