They're is no official union sanctioned industrial action. My understanding is that a number of the security checkers have been told their contracts will not be renewed in the autumn, hence perhaps they are now being more "thorough" then in the past simply to stick 2 fingers up at the DAA
That action wont gain them any massive public sympathy....
If all the security staff in Dublin Airport were sacked and replaced with trained monkeys we'd be better off. The security procedures and practices are nothing short of pathetic. Purely based on the security check, Dublin Airport is the worst airport on this planet - bar none.
Try flying to the US, via Miami airport. You might then revise your opinion.
Dublin airport is by far the worst airport I've ever had the misfortune to fly out of.
I’ve only been in Shannon airport on one of those stupid forced stop-over’s on my way home from the USA. It was the middle of the night and everything was closed, even the vending machines were broken. The parts of the building I was were dirty and old, I was knackered and resentful about having to stop so I wasn’t in the best frame of mind to draw a good impression!Use Shannon airport, It's great.No qeues, Head up to the airport 40 mins before your flight, walk straight through to departures, Might even get in a pint in on the way.
I fly quite a lot, maybe 100-150 flights a year. Dublin is small and cramped but run better than most.Dublin airport is by far the worst airport I've ever had the misfortune to fly out of.
Worst I've ever come across is Vienna.
While French airports may look nice and modern, as a general rule, they are very poorly run.
