[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just did that in August. The plane is a narrow body, which is slightly freaky to me to fly across the Atlantic with only one aisle (but I’m a nervous flyer).  They did have in-flight entertainment, which was nice.

Coming back, the preclearance in Dublin was a hot mess. Incredibly long lines. I’d definitely budget for a lot of extra time though our plane held for a long time waiting for passengers.  Oh- the check-in at LHR for Aer Lingus was a major mess too.  [/quote]

If you hit the Preclearance area at DUB between 9:30-11 AM it can get really bad, as so many US bound flights depart from 10:30-12:30.  Global Entry helps a lot.  If its a later flight the lines won't be as long.[/quote]

PP here. You reminded me…Aer Lingus doesn’t participate in Global Entry!! We found that out too, much to our dismay. [/quote]

Not my experience…

I thought GE had nothing to do with airlines. [/quote]

PP here- I misspoke. They don’t participate in PreCheck. I do have GE but all I can remember is standing in line for a very long time in Dublin. [/quote]

There wouldn't be any PreCheck at a security checkpoint in Ireland, as PreCheck is only something at US airports

There is a security checkpoint at the preclearance facility before you hit the CBP passport control/customs line.[/quote]

But yes you are right they do not participate in PreCheck, so you wouldn't get it on your boarding pass at Dulles, and would have to use the regular security line.[/quote]
