Dublin Airport has issued a warning to those planning to use car park facilities this bank holiday weekend.
It’s expected that 394,000 passengers will pass through the airport over the next few days. Anyone driving to the airport is being advised to pre-book their parking, as demand is high.
Passengers are also being asked to arrive at their terminal two hours in advance of a short-haul flight and three hours before a long-haul flight.
Dublin Airport said in a statement: “The availability of car parking spaces is very limited for the coming Bank Holiday weekend. Most of our car parks are sold out and will be full.
“Customers without a booking should consider using alternative transports options such as bus, taxi, or drop-off.
“Just under 400,000 passengers (394,000) are set to travel through Dublin Airport over the coming May Bank Holiday weekend.
