DUBLIN Airport has issued a hand luggage rule reminder for thousands of passengers – and some complain it’s a “bit dated”.
If you’re travelling through this airport this summer, there are certain rules around carrying liquids in your hand luggage you must know.

Passengers are reminded that all liquids must be in containers of 100ml or less in order to pass through security.
These containers must be removed from your bag and placed separately in the security tray when going through screening.
All liquid containers also need to fit inside a single, clear, resealable plastic bag with a capacity of no more than one litre.
The airport has taken to Facebook to remind passengers jetting off this summer.
They said: “Flying off this summer?
“Don’t forget: all liquids in your hand luggage must be in a container that’s 100ml or under
“taken out of your bag and placed in the tray when going through security screening & placed in a clear 1 litre plastic bag.”
Dublin Airport provides these plastic bags free of charge, so there’s no need to worry if you don’t bring your own.
People have taken to the comments section to share their thoughts on the rule.
One person wrote: “Good information”
Another said: “I have mine in a plastic bag anyway… to prevent a mess in the case if one item starts leaking.”
But not everyone agrees with the procedure, with one person saying: “Bit dated. Belfast you leave everything in the bag and keep watches and flat shoes on.”
Another agreed, commenting: “I thought this was all finished in Dublin airport & you could just leave liquids in your handbag/luggage! Keeps chopping & changing.”
Meanwhile, Dublin Airport has revealed how a new on-site hotel will look when it’s finished with “great airfield views” and a top floor bar.
NEW HOTEL AT DUBLIN AIRPORT
Sofitel is a luxury hotel brand that is set to open on-site in the next two years.
Known for its blend of French elegance and local cultural influences, these hotels can be found in major cities around the world such as New York, Paris and London.
The Facebook post said: “It’s not just the planes flying up around here.
“Work on the new 11-storey Dublin Airport hotel, which will be directly linked into Terminal 2, is coming along very nicely.
“The hotel will offer 412 rooms when it’s finished… not to mention great views of the airfield from the bar on the top floor!”
So far, Dublin Airport has two major hotels on its campus – the Radisson Hotel and the Maldron Hotel, which both offer shuttle services to terminals.
The Sofitel will have 412 bedrooms, an all-day restaurant and be directly linked to Terminal 2.
And it will be opening on site by late 2026.
