Further.gates can be closed off in sets of 2 or 3. Im not sure if.USPC can handle the extra passengers without expanding which they can. Staffing is another not enough staff. As said on another fourm passengers shoild.pay a.euro.or two more and/or the DAA should pay some staff with the US. Time for EI to put pressure on DAA and DAA work something out with the US Gov for staffing.

That 7.50 largely goes to the US for providing it. Simple solution is increase the charge or the DAA pay for lets say 3 or 4 staffs wages to staff it. One thing I do know is Aer Lingus managment are not happy and they pay high charges already. The DAA are making 30 million a year. Paying 200,000 or less for extra staff wont break the bank.
It will take Aer Lingus to stop using USPC before its sorted out.

Two of the LAS are show as from T2 while the other is T1.
United IAD service isn't daily until lather, remains 5 and 6 weekly until a few weeks time before it goes daily for the main summer.
Todays first Aer Lingus flight to CFU didn't get to Corfu, diverted to ATH and return service cancelled.

Las
Yes T2 too busy for first one to LAS I am told
Odd T2 being busy yet at half capacity overall I believe it's a CBP issue as well as stand availability
Washington normally goes sun mon , as well as three other days but not this weekend ,
Good to see ATL back daily from today and AA due in two weeks so overall a use start to the summer

Took over an hour to pass through security yesterday in T1 
Check in closes 45 mins before departure. Gate closes 25 mins before departure. Absolutely impossible to get to the gate on time.
Returned to the ticket desk in T1 and Aer Lingus changed the flight free of charge. Had to pay for hotel overnight and food.
Security queues were unreal. Staff told us it will take 20 minutes...Very very wrong !

I'll explain properly....
We checked in at 15:10 in Area 7. STD was 16:45.
We immediately proceeded to security and it took 30 minutes to get through the barrier that scans the boarding pass.
Once through the barrier we asked staff how much longer we would be. We were told 20 minutes. Had that been the case we would have made it to the gate but we were inaccurately informed. Anyone working there or using the airport on a regular basis would have known it would take more than 20 minutes from the barrier that scans the boarding pass to the x-ray machines.
Once xrayed we ran to the gate and got there too late.
The queue in the security search area splits twice so it is possible to be overtaken by those who have checked in after you. Aer Lingus ticket desk checked our explanation with DAA and agreed about the queue delays. Thats why they moved the ticket free of charge.
Once you get into the queue there is no one to help people who need to move faster. Some people did seek help and were told to get back in line. We did seek help and were told 20 minutes but that wasnt accurate.
The airline policy states check in closes at T-45 however it is impossible to reach the gate if you choose to check in at the deadline.

I had a look at the fast track line this morning in T1, I didnt see any signs or machines indicating you could buy access.
I'm back in DUB in a few weeks for my 3rd ever departure through the airport, can you advise how to purchase fast track access in case its needed.
Yesterday and today only 5 out of 13 xray machines & arches were open.
I've complained to DAA about the situation.
Thanks

Rumours around the airport say that DUB-SFO with EI may start as soon as October/November.....
lfc84 that service level isn't acceptable.

Well the rumours have being dismissed and it won't be know today.
Aer Lingus dismisses rumours of San Francisco direct flights as just speculation - Ireland’s business and technology news service – Siliconrepublic.com

Given that they need to bargain for things they'll have to deny they're going to start a route until they've been offered a nice enough deal.
