Ryanair's flights are up now to Bari.
Over €400 for the return trip. Only €20 if any of the locals fancy watching it in a Dublin pub.
My roundtrip is only costing €110. However I've also lost €150 on a Milan roundtrip which is no use now.
Well done Saint07 when I looked this morning it just came back to me as impossible ( in italian ) but hey what do I know anyway :)Quote:

West Belfast Supporters Club making the trip. Using the easyjet routes we will be in Bari at 8pm on the Tues night (Belfast - Gatwick - Milan - Bari) and coming home Thur (Bari - Milan - Belfast). It was a difficult trip to do from Belfast but we wouldnt miss it for the world. We managed above 5 flights for £248 pp.

Booked our flights for this yesterday. Out on the Monday, Dublin - Bari via Paris. Getting the Ryanair flight directly home on Thursday morning. The flight home was nearly 200 Euros but I don't care. I don't mind doing the planes, trains and automobiles on the way out, but coming home all I want to do is get back as quickly and as easily as possible, so it's well worth the money in my view.
[QUOTE=Saint07;1081939]are you considering the same?

Yer Saint07 very much so as I left booking flights to Mrs Claret and guess the price seems to go up every two hours at the moment so I said the train is the way to go and I am very happy with that , ohh yer I have promised to stay off the beer until at least 9am on the train .
I am sure there will be good fun with the locals going down to the game on the train .
Bring it on .
4,000 paddies on their way to Italy, and the most Ryanair offer is one flight of 189 seats. :rolleyes:Quote:

Good stuff, well there'll be 3 of us travelling too. hopefully some banter.
How many are flying out on those times?
How many do you think Ryanair will be able to bring back on the return flight?
How many spare aeroplanes do you think Ryanair have lying around?
Do you do anything other than moan pointlessly?
anyone flying to bologna aerlingus on the tuesday and getting the train down to bari the same day?
3 of us. same route on the way home but with only 90mins between the two return flights it will be tight on the thurs!Quote:

Just a heads up for anyone travelling to Dublin for the early flight to Milan on the Tuesday - Bewley's Dublin Airport is doing rooms for 50 euro. They have a shuttle bus to the airport and charge around the same as the DAA long stay for parking.
Looks like all the hotels are fully booked.Friends of mine had to book a campervan as they couldnt get anywhere.
I would say you are quite right gufct , I had a couple of rooms ready to be booked on Monday but Mrs Claret didn't like them and now it looks like we have a chance of sleeping on one of my mates floor for the night as everywhere else wants a 3 day stay at this late stage .Quote:

Seeing at they started at €400 return it's not that huge an increaseQuote:

Sure I was even gonna take the return flight home myself because the return trip for us is very Planes, Trains & Automobiles but it would've just cost too much.

They booked me into another hotel for the same price (a much nicer hotel I must say) so I'm sorted but just for people to beware as I know some others had issues with this hotel cancelling or refusing to confirm the reservation (rumours of Ray Treacy booking the whole hotel from what I remember)
I knowQuote:

Worked out at £90 with Ryanair. Bit of a ache waiting around but works out far cheaper. Some of us are also flying from Belfast which works out at.
Belfast - East Midlands
East Midlands - Pisa
Pisa - Bari
works out about the same price and flights time are at similar times.
Hope that is useful to someone.
What hotel did they book you in? I'm still battling with the Mercure but they have now come up with a room in the Victor (which seems to be a kip in comparison).Quote:
