Around 120,000 passengers per day are expected to travel through Dublin Airport this summer.
Operator daa said that it predicts it will be a record-breaking summer for the airport with 10 million people set to pass through the airport from June to August.
More than 2,600 flights, operating by 43 different airlines, will depart from Dublin.
Recent feedback showed that passengers wanted more seating, food and drink choices along with a cleaner airport.
Officials said these issues have been addressed and improvements have been made for the busy holiday season.
Security and Parking
The aim is to get people through security in under 20 minutes. However, there are different rules for different terminals when it comes to whether liquids and technology stay in bags during screening.
In T2, passengers can keep the tech in their luggage, but will have to take liquids out for scanning at security.
Both tech and liquids will also have to be taken out in T1.
Daa CEO Kenny Jacobs said he is confident that “we’re very, very close to a new ruling by the EU that liquids can stay in the bags”.
For those who are driving to Dublin Airport, the advice is to book in advance due to demand.
Extra parking spaces made available by a private company have been welcomed.
Director of Communications with daa Sarah Ryan said it is “great news” that the Quick Park car park has reopened.
“That’s not operated by Dublin Airport but it is available so that does bring some extra capacity,” she said.
Changes to terminals
There will be three new children entertainment areas at terminal one and two which brings the total number to five.
Twenty-three new water refill stations have been introduced and an additional 1,000 seats installed.
Security staff numbers have also increased by more than 1,000.
A new Dublin Airport app has also been launched which features real-time flight updates for arrivals and departures, security wait times, and details about gate numbers and check-in areas.
US pre-clearance
Mr Jacobs said that the advice has not changed for US pre-clearance and passengers should arrive three hours before their transatlantic flights.
The airport has seen an increase in Europeans choosing to come through Dublin when flying to the United States, he said.
Mr Jacobs warned that it may be a short journey for passengers if they are denied entry to the US due to stricter border vetting.
