Moving towards alternative passport control. Against the flow of planes arriving at the 400 gates

Quick ninja into the alternative flight connections. You needed a boarding pass to clear the gates. I only saw a AreLingus counter staffed.

After alternative flight connections I popped out in the 400s by the USA pre clearance

Going past pre clearance towards the signs 100s to 300s gates

Decent signage at the end of the 400 pier

Waking back , under the corridor i was on earlier. Plane in view. This drops you at the back of security.
