Which terminal

Dublin Airport has 2 arrival terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Each has its own arrivals area, so waiting at the wrong one is the most common mix-up here. The terminal is on their booking or in the airline's app. Check it before you set off and put it in your Greet.

Where to wait

Put the exact spot in your Greet. Your guest sees it on their phone from the moment they land at DUB, even without signal.

  • In the arrivals hall of their terminal, a few metres back from the doors.
  • At one landmark you can both name: a numbered exit, a café sign or the information desk.
  • Not right at the barrier, where everyone crowds and nobody can see past the first row.

Passport control and timing

Flights from outside Ireland go through passport control. Flights from the UK are in the Common Travel Area, which usually means a quicker check.
