Thanks for the heads up armando. out early friday back lunchtime sunday. perfect times
Hi Lads
Just to let you all know BmiBaby up to a few minutes ago had return flights Belfast Int to Cardiff out Fri 9.00am, back Sun at 5pm. total cost £88.0 stg.
pretty good.
Have booked this flight some months back at not much cheaper, is worth keeping an eye on, prices changing regularly.
The Friday/Sunday Dublin Bristol trip with Ryanscare cost me €190 in June :mad::mad:Quote:

cant get over the prices ryanair are charging to go to bristol for the welsh weekend...
from both dublin and derry you can get return flights at good times for well under a ton (and as someone pointed out, a day return for €11!!!!)
never seen prices fall as much for an irish game....i forked out 3 times as much for flight prices in june :(
What's makes it stranger is how hard it is to find accommodation in the city centre.
€18 return including €6 per person cc chargeQuote:

Just this minute canceled a room in the Mercure Lodge Hotel for Friday and Saturday nights, two double beds per room, 60 GBP.Quote:

I'm sure if anyone is looking for it and they ring, it'll probably be available on the system now.
if anyones still looking for flights you can fly derry - bristol for 50sterling return. thats the friday and back on the sunday. not so bad considering the cost of the return flights back into dublin.
Just noticed that the money for tickets has been taken out by the FAI. Lets hope that those who go to this one get first call when it comes to our next big away day in the next campaign.
The drop in flight price is ridiculous. I paid well over a tonne for Bristol day return flights a few months ago.
Anyone staying in the holiday Inn on castle street ?
just looking into it this morning and saw there's an Irish bar (Callaghans) in it.
That'll be my base camp for the weekend
Only place we could get was the Days Inn at Cardiff Airport.The website says its 8 miles from City centre.Wonder how accurate that is?Quote:

I'm staying there myself.Its right next to the ground.And looking at the back of my tickets which arrived today, the Irish section go in through gate 1,which is right next to the hotel.Quote:

Where would one get a ticket for the welsh match at this late stage. Was thinking of waiting till the day of the match and try and pick one up. But wouldnt mind having it before then.

sorry, i meant some blockbookers. how the hell do travel agents get so many tickets? their only source can be blockbookers as the fai deny selling any to travel agents. the best way to stop them getting tickets is to find people who got their tickets from travel agents, and backsource the seats to the people. like that section in the home programmes trying to root out touts (one of the best ideas the fai have had in years)Quote:

2) They get their tickets via some corporate/third party allocation from the FAI.
