1: Assuming I can't check in online (AA.com never seems to let me) will Aer Lingus be able to print off all of my boarding passes at initial check-in?
2: If not, is there an airside transfer desk at DUB which can do that?
3: Does Aer Lingus allow paid upgrades to their version of J (for the UK-DUB flight) on an AA ticket?
4: From what I have read, there is conflicting information about the process in DUB. I believe the order is TSA-style security, then the US border. I have GE, does that help me at all through the security part? Does my OWS assist with that at all? Or is it just a J/Y split? I'm in PE at present.
Sorry for all the questions. The DUB website just has a video which says "it's all good."
Many thanks.
1: Yes, they should. You will still need to see an AA agent at DUB anyways though so they can scan your passport.
2: No, but they can do everything at the gate. The 51/Green lounge is contract so does not have any AA staff present there.
3: Yes, you can ask at check in if there are any available.
4: There is TSA style security first, however when I passed through it wasn't in operation, one just walked right through the metal detector with bags and all, they were randomly selecting people during document check for secondary though. There was a priority lane for those with Business Class and status (they let me through on a Y ticket as OWE), not sure if global entry is valid for that though, to get through the document check there. DUB preclearance has global entry kiosks as usual.
