I remember walking to the gate to get a Ryanair flight last year
Such a walk I thought I was in Co Meath!
Haven't been to T2 yet, but it doesn't surprise me. I sometimes fly from Cork, and after the new terminal was opened a big deal was made at how quickly it will be for travelers to check in and get through security. While I have found check in to work quite quickly I have found security appalling. The last time I was there, on a quiet Thursday afternoon, there was a Scottish business man in the queue ahead of me. At this stage there were about 50 people in the queue and we had been standing still for 25 minutes. When we eventually got to the front the Scottish guy asked security if there was some alert or other reason for such a delay. No word of a lie, the security woman turned around and said "Mind your own f!%$*&# business if you don't want trouble".
Once we cleared security I talked to the Scottish guy and wondered if he wanted me to help with making a complaint. He said that in all his traveling he had not been treated so rudely and that he was simply going to vote with his feet. He was a business owner looking to expand and Ireland was one of a couple of countries he was looking at. He said that his decision had been literally made in that instant.
Dublin is a breeze. Heathrow is okay. Gatwick is unpleasant but if you are really looking for a dump then London Luton (and I've been thro' it countless times) takes the biscuit. Didn't like a few airports I've been thro' in Africa or eastern Europe much but I'd rate Luton slightly less well than Tunis.
