Avoid Dublin Airport

We were lucky our US flight arrived a little early. Once in the terminal transit passengers had to walk forever, queue in a regular line for passport control then walk through a series of passages, finally getting stuck in a narrow corridor waiting to join those flying from Dublin for the regular security check. Here a number of people were panicking about getting their onward flights, and we were pretty tight for time. We could easily have been kept separate on the air side and avoided the scrum for security, but this was clearly beyond the airport authority who no doubt prioritize developing another "retail opportunity". Once past security there was another considerable walk. Not good planning!
