[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 hours is recommended for international flights. I would be mad at yourself first, your 3rd party fares site 2nd, American 3rd, and Aer Lingus 4th.[/quote] I fly all the time internationally and have never arrived at an airport three hours early, and have never missed a flight. This sounds unusual.[/quote] It is unusual because it Dublin preclearance. I fly 1-2 a month to/thru Dublin and would never leave 75 minutes for it even with Global Entry. Once your flight is cleared to enter preclearance you have no idea what the wait is like beyond the escalator down. Sometimes I go and there is no one before the additional security and I fly right thru. This week the line for security (NOT CBP) was like Disney long and you can't skip that. Another time I went and Global Entry was down. The line for CBP made them stop the additional security line. It is a great system and why I fly via Dublin 99% of the time but it can be a bear with a lot of tourists or system failures. Are Lingus is great and code shares with United. If they have a change or cancellation they rebook quickly. Your problem is the 3rd party tickets and a tight connection which you just can't do in Dublin flying to US. Live and learn. [/quote]
