I took the gamble of the cheaper non refundable rate as i m staying from Sunday to Friday and have had no problems.

Thanks for the tip, just booked the Alitalia. Anyone travelling from Dublin can get an Aerlingus for 70 rtn at the min, click on "flexible dates" I found it throws up the cheaper fares.

Mr and Mrs M M are all booked in the Boston but had to search around to get a booking. There will be a cold one on the bar for your Newry and Mrs Newry if she is coming.

The crunch is a terrible thing and I might have to move into your family room in order to pay for the beer. How many sets of bunk beds are there?

**NeilMcD** · 03/01/2009, 7:58 PM

Beware Paul may decide to bunk in one of those beds.

**Fergie's Son** · 03/01/2009, 11:22 PM

This may be pricey. Going to go via Chicago to Milan to Bari.

I never even got the email!!!! I didn't think anything of it until I saw this post today. I went back, no email. Rang them, they have no record of the booking

I definately remember seeing the confirmation screen why the feck did I not take a screenshot.

Some reviews say its a right kip

**gspain** · 05/01/2009, 7:53 AM

Anybody going back on the Thursday from Naples on the Aer Lingus flight?

I'll probably be doing a one way car rental. If anybody is interested in a lift and sharing the costs let me know.
