Easter Monday will be the busiest day of the five-day period, with 103,000 passengers flying in and out of Dublin Airport, while Good Friday will be the busiest day for departures.
Easter Monday will be the busiest day for arrivals, the Dublin Airport Authority (daa) has said.
Kevin Cullinane, daa’s Group Head of Communications, said: “Passengers travelling from Dublin Airport this busy Easter holiday period can expect to experience improved service standards across both terminals.
"While a remarkably busy summer schedule is now well underway, it is great to be back to our normal travel advice to arrive 2 hours before a short-haul flight and 3 hours for a long-haul flight after the pandemic.
Passengers are also advised to check which terminal their flight is departing from when planning their journey to the airport, the daa said in a statement.
Parking at Dublin Airport is in very high demand due to Easter, with many days already listed as being sold out.
Passengers are advised to book car parking online in advance and to also consider alternate ways of getting to and from the airport, including by bus, by taxi or drop-off.
The airport has detailed that passengers will see several improvements being made in the terminals in an effort to speed up processing and add comfort to travellers before boarding their flight.
These include an overall decluttering, quicker security times, faster free Wi-Fi, additional seating, including the addition of designated family seating areas, and a mix of new and improved food and beverage options throughout both terminals.
"All the crew at Dublin Airport wish all our passengers a safe and enjoyable Easter weekend ahead,” Mr Cullinane added.
