I found an inexpensive round-trip flight from San Francisco to Barcelona with layovers in Dublin. On the return trip, the layover is long enough that I'll want to leave the airport and find accomodations. Please help me make sure I understand the situation:
SFO->DUB->BCN:
* Ireland is outside of Schengen, and I don't plan to leave airside anyway, so I will not have to deal with EES until Barcelona.
BCN->DUB, overnight, DUB->SFO
* I have plenty of time to arrive early at BCN so the question of long lines will not bother me.
My only point of uncertainty is how long it will take to get through security & customs as a US citizen when I return to Dublin airport after my overnight stay. When should I plan to arrive for a 12:50pm flight?
Thanks!
Ben
