However, You have options in both terminals of Dublin airport, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. if you absolutely need to store luggage in Dublin Airport – it is certainly possible. And the easiest option is the airport baggage storage facility.

Booking in Advance 

Well, from what I’ve seen, folks who really care about feeling comfortable, having flexibility, and getting around easily are the ones who go for it. But, during peak travel times, it’s smart to book ahead to make sure there’s space, especially for big items or group storage.

I will give you my personal recommendation. If I were you – and if I am in Dublin for more than 24 hours, I wouldn’t bother keeping the luggage in airport. Yes, you might not have a place to stay and might move around from Belfast to  Dublin etc – but still, keeping it in the city or literally anywhere else will cost you less. 

The only exception is if you have something really really valuable to store. By all means, go for it then. 

Is this service worth it?

You can often store your luggage on the spot, especially when it’s not busy. 

Baggage storage facilities in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are super easy to get to right inside the airport. This makes it super easy for travelers to drop off or grab their bags before or after their flights.

Security is a big deal, too. At Dublin Airport, they’ve got top-notch security measures for all baggage, whether it’s carry-on or checked. Plus, items stored in their facility are closely monitored and off-limits to anyone just passing by. 

And guess what? Travelers love these. There’s quite a crowd! Sometimes, you’ve gotta be quick and book ahead to grab your spot.
