Dublin Airport has opened a new lounge for passengers travelling to the U.S. 51st & Green has been built after US Preclearance in Terminal 2.
Dublin Airport said its name "reflects the theme of connecting Ireland and the U.S." The lounge, inspired by Newgrange, has seating for 180 people and spectacular views of the airfield.
Dublin Airport Managing Director, Vincent Harrison, said the lounge is one-of-a-kind as "Dublin is the only airport outside of North America to offer a lounge facility once the necessary pre-clearance checks are completed".
Four airlines currently fly 276 times to and from 11 destinations in the US on a weekly basis, an average of almost 40 return flights daily.
The lounge is available to transatlantic passengers only travelling with Aer Lingus, Delta Airlines, United an American Airlines holding a business class ticket and airline club cards.
A record one million passengers used Dublin Airport’s U.S. pre-clearance facility in 2015.
