Flights to Dublin from UK - Public Service Announcement

[mike saban]

public service announcement for those that qualified or planning on clickfest for Dublin.

Ryanair currently got flights for a quid from several UK airports for APAT weekend, offer ends 22/4 ( tomorrow night ). No taxes flying in, limited taxes coming back.

obv price increases if your checking in bags, also there is debit card fee which is a rip off, but for travelling sat early morning, returning Mon pm from East Midlands its costing me and the better half £41 return allin ( £20 is debit card fee). So worth booking if you don"t mind travelling maybe airlines ( maybe on time, maybe not )

£20 debit card fee ?

That must be a typo Mike.  

[mike saban]

unfortunately not. It cost £21 return for 2 and then £10 per passenger for using debit card to book, must admit didnt try credit card but assume similar charge.

Also I will be travelling pretty light, hand luggage only, as it was £30 checkin online and £40 checkin at the airport per suitcase/large bag, hence where they make their cash.

If you can handle that, then not a bad price.

The saying "you never see a poor bookie" comes to mind

the reason they justify the Debit card fee is because you are paying a £ for a flight!!!!

We booked our return flights from Birmingham to Dublin through Ryanair.  They started at £5.00 each way but finally came in at £29.00 each return.  Had to opt for on-line checking in and 1 hand luggage (OK anyway) otherwise the price would have been £40.00 more each!  They charge £20 for checking in at the airport so be warned!

When I got to the payment page they added £10.00 each handling fee!

Still a good price at under £30.00 but you end up feeling hard done by as after every page they bump it up! & £10.00 handling fee for the payment, per person is a joke!

I also heard that the Irish Government are starting to charge 10 euros to leave the country at the airport!  Something to keep in mind.

I booked my flight a couple of months ago - Ryanair from Bham to Dublin. 49p each way!!.  Added in taxes and handling fees and it came to over £80!!  Have to laugh when they quote 49p!

last years Ryanair flight times from MCR airport seem to have been switched with Aerlingus.  Didn"t fancy the £1 for s slash charge or the card charge. £57rtn with lingus booked a fortnight ago.  Not too bad.  Fingers crossed for a seat

Saturday morning 8am?  Return Monday lunchtime?  This is all dependant on whether I get a seat or not of course
