DUB post-US Customs and Border Protection Preclearance "51st & Green" 3rd party (DAA) Lounge
Opened 18 July 2016

The Dublin Airports Authority (pre-US CBP) Executive Lounge is discussed here.

Location: Terminal 2 past US CBP Preclearance near USA departure gates, after gates 405 and 406. Signage near lounge is not very visible. Accommodates 180 passengers.

Link to AA lounge information.

Link to Dublin Airports Authority 51st & Green lounge information.

"Must present a boarding pass for same day departing travel on an AA marketed and operated flight (flight sold with AA flight number and flown on AA aircraft)."

The 51st&Green Lounge is operated by the Dublin Airport Authority and is an Admirals Club partner lounge. Admirals Club members are entitled to use that lounge if departing on an AA flight the same day. (Citi Executive card includes a regular Admirals Club membership. Authorized users do not have partner lounge access, however.)

Though this lounge is not a oneworld lounge, members are, and have reported being, granted access with AAdvantage Platinum or higher status whilst flying out on AA in Coach.

"Lounge Access

The lounge is only available to transatlantic passengers holding business class tickets and airline club cards*. For queries regarding lounge access please contact your airline directly.
Aer Lingus, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines." Link to Dublin Airports page.

In part: "The new 750 square metre facility, with seating for 180 people, has the unusual distinction of being under US jurisdiction while still on Irish soil.

The “51st & Green” name reflects the theme of intersection, the “51st state of America” and green for Ireland and Dublin Airport.

The lounge iavailable to transatlantic passengers travelling with Aer Lingus, Delta, United and American Airlines holding business class tickets and airline club cards*.

It is designed as a space where passengers can relax or work after clearing security and US Preclearance while waiting to be called to their boarding gate located just a walk away.

Along with food and drink facilities, the new lounge offers a concierge service, luxury shower rooms, an entertainment area with sports channels, a private area for Platinum Services customers, printing facilities, charging outlets for multiple devices and ccomplimentary wi-fi."

Just saw this on one of the blogs -- very cool! Last time I flew out of DUB, I spent time in the lovely Aer Lingus lounge, but since you never know what clusterf$#@ pre-clearance is going to be, left super-early. This will be a much nicer place to wait for flights than the post-pre-clearance (heh) terminal.

Seems to be the case. The website includes "airline club card holders" as those who will have access.

Only thing of concern is that its only 180 people in capacity.

How many business seats on flights?
AA, Delta, United and Aer Lingus with flights on the same day/time block, plus card holders .......

Between 24 and 30 (assuming 763/788 aircraft), so that's about 100 seats taken if the cabins are full. But it's about time there was a lounge in that area so something is better than what's been there.

The next sentence: "The lounge is only available to transatlantic passengers holding business class tickets and airline club cards. For queries regarding lounge access please contact your airline directly." So I certainly wouldn't take the airport's blurb about lounge access as indicating that AC members get access.

AA lists this lounge on their web site, saying "Must present a boarding pass for same day departing travel on an AA marketed and operated flight (flight sold with AA flight number and flown on AA aircraft)." No mention of Admiral's Club membership card required (as most partner lounges that accept members say), so it's not clear to me what the rules are. It's not even clear whether Sapphire/Emerald in coach will get access; since it's a third party lounge, the oneworld rules don't require status-based access.

We are requesting the graphics for the update.

In the meantime, a Wikipost has been added to this (retitled) thread and threads to both DUB lounges have been cross-linked in their respective Wikiposts.

Great option given the limited services post-pre clearance!

I flew coach to Charlotte 3 weeks back, am AA Platinum, Lounge access was granted as expected. This is a beautiful lounge, it sits at the end of the T2 Pier with a wraparound window that has an awesome view of the runway, it's spacious with very comfortable chairs.

It has Barista Coffee, Beers, Wine and Spirits as well as lovely fresh croissants, fruit and cereal. Even fresh made smoothies served in little old fashioned milk bottles. It is spacious, wasn't very busy despite my visit in the middle of prime time for US Departures.

It is the nicest lounge I have visited anywhere. It also has the unique claim to be the only lounge that is on American land but not in America, I am sure that makes it the first lounge of any country not actually physically located in that country.

It is also very close to all the departure gates given where it is situated, it is a massive boon to anyone travelling out of Dublin to the States especially given the paucity of food and drink options in that part of the Terminal and associated long queues one used to have to deal with.

My early Sep trip will be the first time flying DUB-LGW-US (EI and BA), so pardon the ignorant question: Do I still go thru US preclearance in DUB?

No, only passengers flying directly to the US from DUB (or SNN) go thru US pre-clearance there.
