How do I make a transfer in Dublin airport if my two flights are on separate tickets?

I have done this quite a few times but only with checking into a hotel in between. This way you are covered pretty well if something goes haywire.

With transatlantic flights from Europe, a well placed positioning flight on a low cost airline followed by a traditional airline flight the next day can save you an astonishing amount of money -- the tradeoff is of course time. If you want real madness: if you are in a very big hub city, say, London, it is often cheaper to fly to a smaller city, and then fly to the USA via London (!). Airlines make no sense.

By default, you would have to collect your checked baggage and re-check it again. If you book your flights with airlines on the same alliance, you may have a chance to convince the check-in agent for your first leg to check your baggage through. It is not advisable to count on this, though.
