I was just taking a look there at the Tartan Army website and going from the comments they make about their trip to Bari a couple of years ago, this one should be a cracker.

Just wondering has this flight been cancelled? It's no longer available to book, but neither is the opposite direction, Bari - Dublin which were been offered to the Italians for around a fiver. Anyone caught out, check out flying into Brindisi which is an hour by train from Bari and only �7. Train every 20 mins or so.

I'm on the Ryanair direct flight on the way home. I wouldn't take the fact that the flight has been taken off the website as an indication that it's been cancelled. If anything I'd say it's the opposite, that's it's full. Another reason for taking it off the website would be to avoid confusion in case it was thought that they were now operating a regular service from Dublin to Bari.

Anyway, we haven't received any correspondence from Ryanair stating that the flight has been cancelled.

by the looks of it, it doesnt look good. I think it either an oversight of ryanair to have it on the website, or they are pulling it due to low demand.

Need somewhere to stay in Bari if anyones got any advice

**DeLorean** · 26/01/2009, 11:27 AM

Scroll back through the thread a little bit. Nearly everything was gone I'd say but there was a couple of suggestion re. B&B's I think, possibly a bit outside Bari.

did you manage to find anywhere? it's looking like a park bench for me at the moment, can't find anywhere, not even remotely close to bari

Have you tried the Hotel Moderno? We got single rooms there for about 60 Euros per night, and a bloke in work got a room there about a week ago which cost him around 80 Euros a night. I don't have the link for it but it's easy to find on google. We did our booking initally over the phone and then it was confirmed by email. Oh and by the way, they take the payment before you arrive (as in our payment has already gone).
