Point taken eireoflo82 but I'd imagine they incorporate a few decoys in what they feed to the media.
Ref post #345 DAA reply:
The Dublin Airport Ground Transportation Centre is located to the rear of the T1 Multi-Storey Car Park Atrium building, adjacent to T2. It comprises a dedicated Coach Park, High-sided Vehicle surface Park, and four lanes with dedicated bus stops, including car park and car hire shuttle bus pick-up and drop-off. Elderly passengers or passengers with reduced mobility can avail of assistance from our Reduced Mobility Service Provide (OCS) to access this area, if required.We have a facility in place to drop-off Long Term Car Park customers at Terminal 2. However, the current arrangement is for all passengers to pick-up all Long Term Car Park buses from their original area. We have been continuously reviewing and gauging our customer's feedback regarding this matter and recently have trialled the possibility of a pick-up area from Terminal 2. In designing the Dublin Airport roads network and operations plan, DAA had to consider a number of factors and work within a number of parameters, including planning restrictions and roads capacities. I trust the information above clarifies this matter for you.

A few questions:
1. Does anyone know how many aircraft are likely to be involved?
2. Am I correct in thinking that the aircraft will be on the ground at DUB all day and depart later after the game? If so, that should be one hell of a sight over by the fire station or even 11/29.
3. Is it likely that the main arrival/departure batches will be timed outside normal busy times at DUB (not too many of those, I know) especially during the morning exodus of FR's and EI's the following day.

Dublin Airport had just under 1.6 million passengers in April compared to under 1.2 million in April 2010.
So far this year just under 5.4 million have used the airport up 5.8%.
May should see a further increase with an extra 50,000 passengers due.

All US flights except 1 EI to JFK and 1 EI to BOS use USPC.
There is only a certain number of gates which can use USPC and there can be more US flight departures than gates which is why USPC is not available for all flights. I think it's 5 gates.
The reason Aer Lingus don't use it for the above flights is the time of day for second JFK and second BOS only goes 3 days a week.
How do they decide who does and who doesn't clear in DUB?

Thanks for the info.
I have looked on the DAA website and I can't see any specific info, I have looked on the Delta website and while I would have thought they would be shouting about it - nothing!
Jamie, that's the first explanation that makes sense - Thanks

Blue Air announce there third route from Dublin to Cluj-Napoca from 2 July.
Cluj-Napoca - 00:10 - DUB 01:55
DUB - 02:40 - Cluj-Napoca 07:55
Operates Monday and Saturday.
Flights will go Bucharest - Cluj-Napoca - Dublin but there will still be a direct flight to Bucharest once a week and it returns to two direct flights from end of October. This is because Cluj-Napoca is not a base.

Over 20,000 more passengers will pass through the airport over the next 4 days compared to the June bank hoilday weekend last year. Just short of 2,000 flights.
The extra Delta flights start today.

6 flights a day to New York now. Is there sufficient numbers to put bums on seats?
Aer Lingus, Delta and Continental: Who will crack first, or who will put on the big seat sale?

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

The only reason you would need to get a lift from the arrivals floorto check-in is if you walked from T1 to T2 or you came in from T2 car parks, otherwise check-in is at street level.
