People travelling from Dublin Airport on Thursday morning were left pleasantly surprised after minimal delays getting through securty.
Passengers have been sharing their positive experiences at the airport, with many praising airport staff for making it "stress-free".
It comes after weeks of "chaotic" delays at Ireland's busiest airport, with extensive lines of people seen snaking through the terminal buildings over the past month as a result of security tailbacks.

Some 300 people have already issued formal complaints to the Dublin Airport Authority, which manages the airport, over delays and missed flights.
Travellers have been advised to arrive at the airport three and a half hours in advance in order to ensure they don't miss their flights.
The recommendation comes as huge numbers are expected to pass through the airport over the Easter period.
However, after weeks of widespread complaints from passengers over the severe delays for early morning flights, the majority of people flying on Thursday morning reported a positive experience.
Taking to Twitter, many holidaymakers said queues for security were running smoothly, with wait times varying from 15 to 40 minutes.
The news will bode well for many heading abroad over the Easter weekend.
