Review: Dublin Airport Executive Lounge

Matthew Klint Posted onNovember 24, 2017November 14, 2023 6 Comments

The Dublin Airport Executive Lounge offers scorching-fast wi-fi and barista-made coffee. It’s well worth a visit before your flight from Terminal 1.

After checking in for my Ethiopian Airlines flight from Dublin to Los Angeles, I proceeded through security. Just past the security checkpoint (to the left) is the entrance to the lounge. Take the stairs or lift upstairs to the entrance.

You’ll be checked in by a smiling staff member. Turn right for the buffet and a smaller seating area. I arrived in the lounge at 5:00am, meaning breakfast was on offer. It included cereal, bread, whole fruits, scones, muffins, and granola with yogurt.

Newspapers and magazines were also available, as well as a seating area intended for work. Internet was extremely fast: over 100mbps down!

I really enjoyed the coffee in this lounge. The cappuccino was well-made and a warm scone with yogurt, coffee and the Daily Mail constituted a great start to my day.

Restrooms are located directly outside the lounge. No shower facilities are available.

CONCLUSION

The Dublin Airport Executive Lounge is well worth a short stay before your flight if you are looking for a great cup of coffee or light breakfast. Hours of operation are from 4:45a to 9:00p daily. This is also a Priority Pass lounge, so you need not even be traveling in business class to access it.

    I believe you have a typo here: “Hours of operation are from 4:45p to 9:00p daily.”

      Correct. Thanks!

    A remarkably irritating lounge to find, even though it’s right there under your nose. The stairs are right in the middle of the security zone, while other lounges, if they even still exist, are sign-posted off in Siberia between T1 and T2.

    DAA T2 lounge is nicer IMO, same basics but usually much quieter

    Does this lounge allow you to bring guests with the priority pass? And if so, how many and is there a charge per person?

      Depends upon which Priority Pass program you have, but in the U.S. the AMEX Plat-issued PP card allows up to two guests and the Chase Sapphire Reserve-issued PP allows an unlimited number of guests.
