My boarding pass states DAA Lounge. The DAA Lounge is actually the 'T1 at Dublin Airport'. Signage is terrible. But make a 'U' turn after exiting security and it will be in front of you. The lounge serves many mainstream airlines, is Priority Pass, with a very minimal selection of beverages and food. Very crowded and guests that can't cover their mouths when coughing continuously (not the fault of the lounge, but close quarters). Upon entering, a very careful study of the boarding pass prior to scanning it with puzzled looks (not the end of the world, but just scan the pass, as is what occurred at the end; save everyone some time). Guests were circling looking for seats, one went to sit down in a seemingly empty seat, and was chased away by the guest opposite because he didn't want anyone sitting near him. (I think I would have pushed back on that.)

Upon leaving, I guess transition to lunch was occurring. Fresh food out, like slices of cheeses and meats. Not many serving utensils placed out and the food was placed on shelves at waist level with no 'sneeze' protection. I also noticed Priority Pass members were being turned away even though the lounge was much less crowded than an hour ago.


Certainly don't get here early for the lounge experience. In fact as soon as I am finished with this post, I'm headed to the gate early.
