Minimum time to transfer at DUB?
I'll be arriving from the US at 11:50 and there are two options for continuing flights on to GLA on Ryanair, leaving at 14:00 or 21:00. While I'd love to take the 14:00, and get into GLA sooner, I'm afraid that wouldn't leave me much time, especially if flights get delayed, long queues at immigration, etc. Am I correct in my thinking here? If I paid for the expedited security would that make a difference? What's the minimum amount of time you'd recommend allowing yourself to transfer?
In the event that we then need to take the 21:00 flight, how early can we drop our bags with Ryanair? On their website they say the bag drop desk opens 2 hours before the flight, but at an airport like DUB with dozens of Ryanair flights, will they take our bags earlier if they're staffed? That would let us drop our bags and then either go into downtown Dublin for the day or go to one of the lounges.
