Dublin Airport has issued an urgent warning to passengers over a hack that has gone viral.
A viral TikTok trend that some say helps reduce the time spent in security queues may actually make you miss your flight.
The DAA have spoken out against the emerging trend.
To avoid long waits, many people on TikTok have been raving about the idea of purchasing a Fast Track ticket which allows you to bypass the queue.
It brings you to a separate fast line and is priced between €7.99 and €13.99, but depends on the destination and time of your flight.

So now, people have been recommending a hack that means you can avoid the wait times while making it through security faster, without having to pay.
But Dublin Airport are recommending that you avoid it. Whatever airline you are travelling on will determine if you are in Terminal One or Terminal Two.
Terminal One is used by popular and budget airlines including Ryanair, Air France, Lufthansa, Norwegian etc.
Terminal Two hosts airlines including Aer Lingus, American Airlines, United, Emirates, Etihad Airlines and more.
Some holidaymakers shared stories where they have gone through the opposite terminal to the one listed on their ticket in order to get through quicker.
@melaniemay_ Dublin Airport travel hack. You can do security in either T1 or T2. It doesnt matter what terminal you are flying from. #traveltiktok #traveltips #dublinairport #ireland #ireland #thisisdublin #airportsecurity #travelhacks #europeansummer #fyp
Since T1 and T2 are connected you can go through either security stations at the airport.
If you also download the Dublin Airport app that shows security wait times, holidaymakers can choose the faster option.
However, a spokesperson for Dublin Airport told RSVP Live: “Passengers should go through security screening in the terminal that they’ll be flying out of (this will be detailed on their ticket/boarding pass).”
