Yesterday I took part in the operational trials for the new Terminal 2 in Dublin airport. Terminal 2 opens in eight weeks and will be operated by the Dublin Airport Authority.
So we all had to be there for 11.30 and we were bussed to a briefing area where we were told what was expected of us and where we had to go. We were all given scripts that we have to follow which had different scenarios. I was there in my own but there were also couples, families, seniors and people with disabilities including wheelchair users. All in all there were 800 volunteers involved yesterday.
Terminal 2 is going to be the base for most trans-atlantic flights by the sounds of things and airlines using it will include Aer Lingus, Delta and Continental. Staff from all the airlines were there making sure everything worked. My script told me that my name was Niamh Phelan,I had to check in to fly with 2 bags to CCC, Cayo Coco, Cuba (if only). The guy beside me was Sinatra, F.
