Dublin Airport: Car park bookings sold out as busy Easter weekend looms

Bookings for Dublin Airport's carparks are running low as the busy Easter weekend approaches.

It comes as the airport has been dogged by controversies over long security delays.

The reason given for the delays getting through security are staff shortages due to many workers being let go during the lull of the Covid-19 pandemic.

There are no more bookings available on Saturday and spaces are also in short supply on Friday. Easter weekend is typically very busy at Dublin Airport as many fly home or abroad to see family.

Dublin Airport tweeted: "If you are heading to Dublin Airport this week, please be aware that we are currently sold out in all our car parks for this Saturday, April 16. Also, only limited availability remains for short durations up until this Friday (April 15)."

If you are planning to fly from Dublin Airport over Easter, the following tip could save you a lot of time standing in a long queue.

Dublin Airport's official Twitter account has confirmed that passengers could potentially avoid the long security queues at Terminal 1, as long as certain requirements are met.

Answering questions on Twitter from concerned passengers, @DublinAirport confirmed that security queues in Terminal 1 can be avoided by going through Terminal 2 instead.

One person asked: "Can you use T2 if T1 is busy?"

Dublin Airport responded and confirmed that: "you may process security screening in either terminal."
