Dublin Airport have issued their summer travel advice - and named the top five destinations set to receive flights from the capital over the next few months.
London Heathrow is the most popular route for Dublin Airport flyers this summer, according to the Airport themselves. Amsterdam, Manchester, Malaga, and Faro round out the top five.
Dublin Airport have also issued their summer travel advice to passengers:
Passengers departing from Dublin Airport this summer are advised to arrive two hours before a short-haul flight and three hours prior to a long-haul flight. The daa say they are once again aiming to get 95%+ of passengers through security screening in under 20 minutes – just as it did in each of the past two summers.With the roll-out of new C3 scanning technology now complete in both terminals at Dublin Airport, passengers are reminded that the old 100ml liquids rule has now gone.Liquids and gels can be carried in hand luggage in containers of up to 2 litres, with no limit on the number of items that can be carried.Passengers no longer need to remove liquids and gels, nor electronics, from their hand luggage when passing through security screening.However, passengers due to fly back to Dublin Airport are advised to check the liquids rules at their return airport to find out whether the 100ml limit is still in place there.
The Airport is set to welcome 11 million passengers over the busy summer months of June, July, and August, a 2 per cent increase on last year. the expectation is more than 100,000 passengers to travel through the airport every day between the start of June and the end of August, with the Airport’s previous record busiest day (130,427 passengers on August 10, 2025) almost certain to be beaten.
Dublin Airport Managing Director Gary McLean said: “It's going to be another very busy summer at Dublin Airport with the appetite to fly, both into and out of Ireland, as high as ever. Demand to fly through Dublin Airport continues to grow and numbers travelling this summer look set to eclipse last year's record levels.
"Through the first three months of the year, passenger numbers at Dublin Airport were up by around 9%. This was mainly the result of the lifting of the winter slot capacity restriction, which was in place for the corresponding period in 2025.
"Passenger numbers continued to increase in April, albeit at a slower low single-digit pace, and this trend is expected to continue over the coming months with numbers travelling during the peak summer months expected to be up around 2% on last year. We're looking forward to another busy but smooth summer period at Dublin Airport and the team can't wait to welcome everyone.
"We're keen to remind passengers that the 100ml limit on liquids has now been removed at Dublin Airport, following the completion last year of the rollout of new C3 scanners in both terminals. Many people will be using these scanners for the first time this summer so it is important to be aware of the changed rules which mean individual containers of up to 2 litres can be carried in hand luggage."
