Brace yourself. This overcrowded airport is gloomy and tired, and by the time you board your plane, you will be too.
If there were awards for the most unsurprising combination of grey metal and concrete, flyovers and multi-storey car parks, this airport would win gold. Any notion of attractive design is entirely absent, not helped by Ireland’s grey skies. Surprisingly, for a country of eternal rain, the drop-off area isn’t totally covered, and dampness results as I clamber out of my transfer car.The style is dated provincial shopping mall.
Two of the most popular venues appear to be Butlers Chocolate Cafe and the more expansive The Fallow which has a substantial bar and overlooks the tarmac. An upstairs food hall offers Thai and Mexican street food and an overcrowded Burger King. Proceed onwards from this central hub and more eateries hunker near distant gates.Buy yourself the usual suspects: a bestseller, some Oil of Olay, headphones, overpriced chocolates.
