Using Terminal 1 for Terminal 2 Flights?
Just wondering if you can go through Security in Terminal 1 for a flight that is 'operating' from Terminal 2?
Was on an Aer Lingus Regional flight and got to Terminal 2 and went through security there. It was peak time so security time was 23 minutes according to the sign. Had a bit of a rush to the area in Terminal 1 which seems to be the Aer Lingus Regional boarding area. Would have been a lot easier to go through Terminal 1 security and come out right beside this boarding area. Can you do this if you have your boarding card already printed from home?
Also as it is some drive in the bus to the stands where the aircraft are parked. Our bus faced towards the long Terminal 2 pier and we drove all the way up one side of the pier, then all the way back down the opposite side and then past the lounge area where we boarded the bus before heading out to the plane which was parked out close to the 100 gates. Seems a crazy system that adds so much extra time to the boarding process

You know you should be at the airport at least 90 minutes before departure regardless of check in online or at the airport, if you had to rush to gate then how late did you leave it?
As for the route systems are there for a reason, you can't allow buses drive and turn anywhere on an active airfield. Given the time of day when there is 5 or 6 EIR flights together not always possible to have buses facing correctly.

Thanks for the info.
Yeah I was later than I normally would be - about 55 mins before the flight so was a bit rushed. You can still check in up to 45 mins before the flight so that would be even tighter if you did that

There will be T2 busing facilities in 2017/2018.
They seem to of stopped boarding at 400 gates completely even at off peak times for whatever reason. It could be just a summer schedule issue however.

Cathay Pacific could be the first Asian carrier to arrive in town with a Hong Kong service! No indications on service type (direct/tag on) etc but they are looking currently.
According to S Business Post (subscription required). Will post if I spot a screen shot on the article but suspect Travel Extra may get more info for next weeks addition.
A little shocked they are looking at DUB to be honest....

There's an interesting discussion going on the DUB Facebook page about the current pre clearance arrangements, where passengers have to clear security twice about five minutes apart. It has me wondering whether there's any way at all that a direct route to pre clearance could be constructed which would avoid the double check...

Yes it's a bit of a pain. The Queues at the American security are nuts.
It's also really disorganised, no one really tells anyone where to go so people go all over the place. There was alot of queue skipping going on which was also more than irritating especially when the flight is leaving soon.

TSA Security was moved to reduce congestion which has worked reasonably well. Guess people prefer longer queue's then....

So give them no access to the airport after check in?
It strikes me that it should be possible; simply put one-way doors on the entrance to pre-clearance from within the existing departure lounge, then build an enclosed route through one corner of the building.

I'd certainly like that option, especially if a lounge opens after pre-clearance.

It's not just Dublin, you have to go through security twice in SNN as well, first when you enter the general departure area and then when you go to enter preclearence section you get checked again.
