Dublin Airport Authority finally announced the plans for construction of terminal 2 at Dublin airport, along with another new building, called Pier D. The new terminal is expected to be operational in 2009 (I’ll believe that when I see it, given that they haven’t even started the tender process yet) and Pier D is expected to be operational in 2007.

Given the mental state of the crowds at the checkin area last time I was in Dublin airport, it really could do with this sooner rather than later. That said, I was flying with no hold baggage and was able to check in in only a couple of minutes using automatic check in machines, which was brilliant. Quite amusing doing that and strolling past the hordes queueing at the check in desks, giving you filthy looks :).
