DUB T1 to T2 connection
I'm not too familiar with DUB. Am taking advantage of a cheap ex-DUB Emirates fare and positioning to DUB via BA.
I believe BA arrives at T1 and EK departs at T2. Is there an equivalent of 'Flight connections' or do I need to go landside and swap terminals?
Thanks,
BC

Most of the time DUB requires Boarding Pass in hand before you can use Flight Connections in my experience.
This link shows the map of arrivals.
The connections setup seems to be only from T2 to T1 and not the reverse airside. There is a walkway outside between terminals.

Having done the trip we ended up going landside between terminals both ways... I did question a DUB staffer about any form of T2->T1 airside connection but she said to use the landside walkway.
Not the easiest of connections when our inbound EK flight was an hour late giving us 40 mins to clear immigration (fast), find the walkway (slow, due to appallingly bad signage), run to T1 security (very slow at 7pm) and then find the gate (a bit of a step from security). Anyway, we did make the BA flight so validating my ex-DUB EK in F to AKL madness.

When I arrived at DUB earlier this week I noticed that as we arrived a lady was opening a door in the Immigration Hall which was marked 'Flight Connections Terminal 2' with a sign that appears to turn on/off.
Not sure what happens if you follow the sign, but you might want to look for it after arrival.

Isn't the magic connections corridor after immigration? IIRC it led off from the baggage hall, so post-immigration passport checks, but pre "just keep walking through customs to the outside". Or is there a second one?

There does appear to be some building works going on in the location of the 300 gates that BA use, but I am not sure what they're doing yet. Am back tonight so will see what I can see.

I have literally - and I mean that - only seen it open once. Every other time it has been closed.
