I travelled through Amsterdam recently. Whatever you do stay airside. It was hell

They’re put up temporary walls to make it look like they are doing some building, but it’s actually to hide the mountains of bags.
A few passengers arriving from the likes of China and Nigeria brought food in their checked bags, which then st in the heat in DUB for a week. The smell was something else

That’s it, inside the terminal. Kind of tucked away as well so away fr.histle and bustle. Was great grub and selection of beers. Easily waste a few hours in it
Theres a takeaway one but the sit down one is a but hidden away. Looks like this.

Did a 525km round trip today picked up the sister and her husband a good Askeaton man @Julio_Geordio @TreatyStones from the airport back from Oz hadn’t seen them in 4 years dropped them in LK and back home, emotional scenes in the airport there must have been 20 families waiting on the Dubai flight coming in with 
banners welcome baby home etc twould bring a tear to a glass eye. Mothers first anniversary next weekend so twas extra emotional when we got home. Fuck it such is life as they say.

Went thru DUB today, tis some operation now I must say, they had 2 (two) fellas employed full time just to instruct motorists and pedestrians how a zebra crossing works.
For absolutely every other reason you can think of it’s not worth it, but for the luxury of skipping an hour of queuing to get thru security, bringing a toddler along is an absolute must.

I pulled into the short term car park in Terminal 2 just before 12 today it was practically only half full parked on level 4 easy as you like was disposed of €7.70 when we left at 1:35

Oh tell me more
Don’t mind the queue once you get in the door, tip down towards security on the left hand side and if you have childers young enough you’ll give a nod and a wink to some lady and she’ll open up the barrier. A salt of the earth Dub type will scan you through, engaging you in some light hearted banter whilst expertly fending off the queries of a geriatric Yank in the real queue on the other side of the fence who has just gotten a BIG RED X on the scanner machine.
Before you even realise whats happened you’ll be in another queue, but you’ll have skipped the bones of 30-40 mins of preliminary queuing.

It was fairly wedged in there today now (and our flight was for 12:30), although in fairness they kept things moving. Every flight seemed to be delayed though so it was case of extra bodies piling into the terminal. We just get kept handing Pike Jnr chocolate buns and hoping for the best. It mostly worked out.

Yeah that was my experience too. Hang a left with the kids and ignore the pre boarding pass queues. They should have a little area then airside where you can leave them until you fly home.
