Flights to away games this season.

[Conor H]

I'll do a lap of Terryland naked if ye run a chartered flight this season but the idea of flying to a game low-budget is somewhat feasible, and could be sold as some sort of package trip by GUST or whatever.
(Somwhere like Cork)

JW's cunning ploy to put us off running a chartered flight with his pledge to run naked around Terryland!

Nevertheless we shall explore all avenues!

[corbyeire]

go on do the lap anyway - we got promoted! - still feel the need to celebrate our election to the top flight and all that!!!

Lol

I hear the Dog and Duck in Athlone are building an airstip as we speak!

We're planning something similar right beside our new stadium.

flights to places like derry or cork.turners cross is a short trek from cork airport.the cork flight doesnt have to be chartered as aer arann fly there and a flight back to galway leaves at around 10.30pm which is feasable to get.the derry one would have to be though.its just for the many people who cant make 5 hour trips(10hour round trip) to derry and cork on friday evenings so i think its a good idea too.in galway airport you only have to check in 10mins before a flight so no hassle with waiting either.so for 1 or 2 games it makes sense.

We looked at flying to Cork last year from Dublin and getting to/from the airport. Waiting time in airport and flying time was about 20 minutes dhorter than the bus. €90 dearer per head too (if full)

I got the plane back from Cork last year, I think (could have been the year before). We organised a race back from the Gresham in Cork to the Gresham in Dublin by plane, bus and train for the craic. The plane won by ten minutes (although I don't think I had to check in the full two hours beforehand) from the bus, with the train ten minutes further behind, including a 30-minute wait to change in Mallow. Much more expensive too. It's not as quick as it sounds (or as Michael O'Leary would have you believe), to be honest.

yeah your probably right for galway-dublin as new dual carriageways have taken a good chunk off the journey in the last 18 months. but cork and derry remain a nightmare journey from galway. the problem getting anywhere in dublin from the airport remains but it would represent a massive shortening for derry/cork games

Sure isn't the new Atlantic motorway going to be built any decade soon?

its nearly 100 euro for a return flight leaving galway airport at 5:30 and the return flight leaves dublin at 22:30. its really expensive for the amount of rushing around that people will have to do
