Aer lingus > ryanair

It may be a touch more expensive but its only a touch and the whole online booking / checking in / boarding / seat colour package makes for so much better an experience.

David...do yerself a favour.  Go to your local health board offices and apply for the FREE European Union Medical Insurance card.  Good for travel anywhere in the EU and they can have it ready for you in no time.  Only need travel insurance when yer heading to the States imo.

Without knowing anything for certain, I feel it 90% likely that APAT will be back at the Fitzwilliam Card Club.

Address is: Clifton Hall
Lower Fitzwilliam Street
Dublin 2
Ireland

I"m sure you can find some hotels on your own now that you have that.

Just booked me flight from Brum and was surprised that Air Lingus are cheaper than Ryanair now. Ryanair have more add-ons now than a PokerStars satellite !!

I mentioned this to a couple of the lads in Vienna over the weekend so I thought it was worth re-posting in view of possible ash-clouds etc.

DUBLIN PLANNING

You have to know that this will take longer than flying but if you have the time...e.g. Friday & Monday off.

The train fare (including ferries) from any station in Britain to Dublin is £30.50 or less each way via Holyhead.

See...SEAT61.com



Since the post, I"ve discovered that Virgin Trains will show this deal (obviously as they run from London to Holyhead) but, from elsewhere, you might have to check your local operators.

Season 4 Travel tips. [LUTON]

I noticed that there was a special offer running for this hotel, so I just booked a room...

Normally £50 per room if booking this early...  But they are doing a 2 for one, so got charged £50 for 2 nights, making it £25.00 per night..  BARGAIN..!!!  It is a cancellable rate too..  Luton Days Inn by the way...

Cheers
Carl..
