DUB Arrivals Area

As notes in an earlier post in this guide, DUB arrivals come in to gates A22 or A23. Ireland is in the Common Travel Area with the UK which means that arriving passengers from DUB do not need to go through passport control on arrival in to the UK, although they do need to go through customs. This means that DUB arrivals need a separate arrivals route.

The below diagram shows the layout of this arrivals area next to gates A22 and A23:



On the corridor there are glass doors door between A23 and A22, and also A22 and A21. These can be closed as needed to ensure correct routing of non-DUB international passengers if a non-DUB flight arrives at A22.

There are some photos of the DUB arrivals corridor in this thread here.

When entering the corridor from the A23 jet bridge you can either go straight ahead along the DUB arrivals corridor, this corridor is also signed for those connecting on to a UK flights from T5, or you can turn right and follow the corridor past A22 which will take you on towards the FCC for any other type of connection. There are Heathrow staff next to the glass doors between A23/A22 to check your onward boarding pass.

If you arrive at A22 you can either turn left and then go down the DUB arrivals corridor, or right to follow the corridor past A21 which will take you on towards the FCC. Again, if you turn right there are Heathrow staff next to the glass doors between A22/A21 to check your onward boarding pass.

If you follow the signs - arrivals or those connecting on to a T5 UK flight go down the DUB arrivals corridor, and anyone connection to any other T5 flight, or any flight departing T2/3/4 go to the FCC.
