Dublin Airport named as second most stressful in Europe as car park passes sell out for Easter Saturday

Dublin Airport has been ranked as the second most stressful airport in Europe - as the long problems surrounding security and check-in queues continue.

The airport has faced heavy criticism from the public for lengthy queues and delays in the last fortnight.

And things don't seem to be getting any easier for Easter week, with 500,000 passengers set to pass through the doors.

Car park passes have sold out already for Easter Saturday.

Meanwhile, a new study has claimed the airport is the second most stressful in Europe.

The Digital PR Hub at Legacy Communications decided to analyse the hotspots around Europe to find out which are most likely to stress you out this Easter.

Legacy combed through over 10,000 passenger reviews, 2,500 tweets, and hours of flight data to gauge which airports are likely to cause the biggest bump in blood pressure.

Top of the list? London Heathrow - but after a whole host of problems in the last two weeks, Dublin came in second.

The airport failed to scratch the top ten in passenger satisfaction reviews for WiFi, check-in, security, and more with a score of 76% landing it at thirteenth place.

Dublin also ranked number two in negative sentiment social media analysis with a score of -221 and ranked number seven in the most delayed airport list with a delay rate score of 94.83
