For anyone who hasn't booked yet, at the moment there are ridiculously cheap fares on Ryanair Dub-Bristol the weekend 16th - 18th Nov.

The day trip is €11.98 return(inc. taxes etc.)!
Going out 6.30 Coming back 21.05. To get this fare you have to book before midnight tonight.

Even going out Friday, coming back Sunday is under €60 all in.

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.

You could try the London Supporters Club, they may be running a trip from London. They are on www.rissc.org

**aidz1** · 26/10/2007, 4:55 PM

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

**eirebhoy** · 26/10/2007, 5:48 PM

What's makes it stranger is how hard it is to find accommodation in the city centre.

it would have been cheaper to fly and rent a car than to sailrail, which was 82 return. plus the times aren't so bad, and you can come back on the sunday, rather than right after the game. grr!

of course, when i booked the sailrail, the flights were more expensive.

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

I'm sure if anyone is looking for it and they ring, it'll probably be available on the system now.

**Willum101** · 01/11/2007, 9:57 AM

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.

reder · 08/11/2007, 8:00 AM

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?

**eirebhoy** · 08/11/2007, 12:52 PM

Only a week to go!

Well put it this way, a taxi from cardiff city to the airport/shed in the middle nowhere was about �20. The airport is 12 miles west of the city.
