A HOST of new rules were introduced at Ireland’s biggest airport last year – with some major changes in place.
Dublin Airport is set for another busy year in 2025, as airline giants have already launched some massive sales.

Ahead of jetsetters making their way through the terminals, here is a full round up of the rules in place for Dublin Airport in 2025.
The first rule is in relation to carrying liquids, aerosols, and gels (LAG) through the airport.
There was some confusion in 2024 when new scanning devices were introduced in the terminals.
It meant that punters did not have to remove anything from their bags at security.

But from September 1 onwards, the EU introduced temporary regulations about the carry of LAGs.
The new rule meant that all LAG would once again have to removed from luggage ahead of security.
In 2025, all liquids must be under 100ml and must be taken out of your luggage before security.
Dublin Airport said: “For passengers travelling through both terminals at Dublin Airport, these changes mean all departing passengers must be prepared to remove all liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs) from their hand luggage prior to screening, with all LAGs to be under 100mls.”
And the rule changes depending on the terminal so travellers should be aware before they head into the airport.
In Terminal One, LAGs must be kept under 100ml and taken out of your carry on at the security gates.
Each passenger is only allowed one bag per person so all liquids and gels must fit inside it.
The one litre bag must be clear in colour and can be found at the airport just before security.
And passengers should remove all electronics such as laptops and iPads before going through.
Meanwhile, the rules are slightly different for Terminal Two.
There, all LAGs must be kept under 100ml and must be presented to security.
Like in Terminal One, they must be sealed in a clear plastic bag.
But the catch is, there is no limit to the number of clear bags passengers can carry.
And in Terminal Two, all electronics like phones or tablets can be left in your bag.
There are a few exceptions to the 100ml rule, but these must still be taken out of your bag at security.
Baby food, medicines needed during the flight and dietary requirements are all exempt.
CARRY ON ALLOWANCE
Dublin Airport officials advise passengers to check with their airline’s baggage allowance before travelling.
They advise: “We would remind all passengers that each airline has their own policy regarding hand baggage allowance and we strongly recommend that information regarding this is sought directly from the airline before travel.
“We advise you to only place valuables and items required for the flight in your hand baggage.
“All hand baggage will be subject to x-ray screening when going through Security.”
And while rules surrounding liquids may have changed, the basics remain the same.
This means sharp items, tools, stunning devices and incapacitating devices and projectile firing weapons are prohibited.
