US Preclearence

Dublin is one of only two airports in Europe (along with Ireland's other airport, Shannon) to have US immigration pre-clearance in the terminal. When you arrive in the US, your flight will be checked in as domestic, saving you the often long queues that can be common at US airports.

However, before flying from Dublin to the US, ideally arrive at the airport 3 hours before your flight.

You will also go through US Preclearance immigration in Dublin when transferring from another flight to the US.
