Into London and the train to Paris?

Probably cost the same, but you'd feel better for not giving those showers the money!

The flights are a rip-off and for someone unemployed like myself arn't worth it. What I am contemplating is renting a campervan.

easyjet. must have been 1st in, now 290 :eek:

[gspain]

Paid the Aer Lingus 320 return from Dublin as the draw was being made. Booked Tuesday to Thursday.

Easyjet via Luton and others are options. You will save money but have the hassle of spending ages in a UK airport.

Eurostar is a good bet too.

[Nolimits]

Booked ryanair €271 all in each

[finbarrk]

Eurostar is the best option for someone living in the West anyway.

[Paulie]

Flying direct from Dublin to Paris on Air France - €157 rtn. Depart Dublin on Monday at 9:10, depart Paris on Thursday at 15:35. Well pleased with that.

[eaststand85]

Flying direct from Dublin to Paris on Air France - €157 rtn. Depart Dublin on Monday at 9:10, depart Paris on Thursday at 15:35. Well pleased with that.

Same price is also still available with AF departing Tue and returning Fri. We're booked with Ryanair to Luton (got the one cent flights during the sale) and onwards to Paris with Easyjet (approx £50 return) from Tue to Thu.

[brendy_éire]

How long does it take to get from Heathrow to the train station for the eurostar??

It you get the Heathrow Express, it takes 15 minutes to get to Paddington. It's fairly expensive though.

[brendy_éire]

Belfast City to Liverpool on the Tuesday night, back Thursday midday; £9.98, Ryanair.

Liverpool to CDG on Wednesday morning, back Thursday morning; £71, Easyjet.

[paul_oshea]

How long does it take to get from Heathrow to the train station for the eurostar??

the picadilly line goes straight from heathrow to kings cross, it takes about an hour.

the paddiginton one is every 15 mins or so, but you need to get on a tube after that it doesn't bring you directly to kings cross.

[Sligo Hornet]

Eurostar £59 return. Out tuesday at half six in the evening back thursday at 10.

[Clipper]

Can get Eurostar and a hotel for under 120stg, seems pretty good to me. All in about 190 euro

[Royal rover]

[yablazer]

Ryanair Dublin to Gatwick tuesday night.
Eurostar London to Paris 06.55 Wednesday Morn

Eurostar Paris to London 0600 Thursday Morn
Ryanair Gatwick to Dublin 09.40 Thursday Morn.

Only an 1 hr 40 mins between train getting in to London and Flight leaving Gatwick! Tight but very cheap, 85 euro all in. Cant wait.

[rambler14]

Did some research on this myself even though I can't really afford to go!:(

Flying to London and getting the Eurostar to Paris is definetley the cheapest way to go.
From Cork it's under €200.

[Superhoops]

No confirmation yet that the French will play in Paris.

[SuperDave]

It was 80 euro to fly to london and eurostar it until about half an hour after the draw....

then it skyrocketed and suddenly became unaffordable.... ffs.

[Nolimits]

No confirmation yet that the French will play in Paris.

[mypost]

No confirmation yet that the French will play in Paris.

Where else will it be?

Unless it's against someone completely muck, (6th seeds), France play all their home games in Paris.

[Conormack]

Where have you been for the last five years? :D

[francesco_1]

It now cost 100 euro to change a name on a ticket with ryanair, when did that go up from 50?

I booked that flight 6 days ago for 2 cent return because i was bored and just incase it worked out that way after the draw ,,,,shannon to paris 17th to 19th and just my luck it happened that way.

[Greenforever]

8 Booked Belfast to CDG Out Mon ret Thurs, doubled in price while I was booking it but got it for £107 each

[ptegan]

I'm one of those power-mad boards.ie mods who thinks of nothing more than banning people all the time. No time for other sites but I'm very impressed to find that my account is still active !

[head the ball]

3 of us booked in, Shannon-Beauvais Tues-Thurs, €325 per head.

Hate to tell you this but three of us also flying shannon - beauvais for €0.2 cents per head. - out tue back thurs. Took a chance with ryanair free flights offer (after panorama programme) and used my new virtual visa electron card (no payment charge) and hit the jackpot!
Actually booked a total of 15 return flights diff combinations to uk for 3 of us to cover as many angles as possible.
Only downside is 4 hour drive to shannon.
God bless ryanair.
