Since there are cyclists on the board, Aer Lingus has at least in the recent past carried bikes for free.I was excited before, but now I’m *super excited* for the
AER LINGUS COLLEGE FOOTBALL CLASSIC
This one’s for all the corned beef and cabbage!
(Upon further review, it’s always had a title sponsor. Just the first time it’s shown up in targeted advertising for me.)
Enjoy the Cevapći. It is addictive.We flew on Aer Lingus a couple of years ago - they had a good deal to Dublin, then we used Ryan Air, et al for the rest of the Continent. On the way back, they were overbooked, so we raced to the line to be voluntarily bumped. A little skeptical because a voucher would be of limited value to us. They gave us each a check (a cheque?) for EU1500, including my then-6 year old. What a pleasant surprise. My daughter had to endorse her cheque, the first time she ever "signed" something.
We are attending a wedding in early August 2022 in Bosnia, no way I can go BACK for the Dublin game. Heck, it's hard to get to ANY game from here in Idaho.
I am starting to look at how to get to the game, and I am a Delta high mileage guy. But....I am interested in your opinion of Aer Lingus because economy tickets 11 months out (which is as far out as you can book) are in the high $400 to low $500 range. If the same is true in a few weeks, it would make me consider just buying two on Aer Lingus instead of cashing in Delta points. That is a great price from Atlanta, with a stop in Boston. You liked the experience? Any others with thoughts?We flew on Aer Lingus a couple of years ago - they had a good deal to Dublin, then we used Ryan Air, et al for the rest of the Continent.

Hopefully, Florida Alum will set up a "special thread" so we can compare opportunities for tix and travel.I am starting to look at how to get to the game, and I am a Delta high mileage guy.

I fly Aerlingus frequently. They fly AirBus 330's from the US to Dublin and Shannon(Boston only). The service is satisfactory but you will love the Irish accents of the flight attendants.I am starting to look at how to get to the game, and I am a Delta high mileage guy.

It's fine. I recall them as a full service airline, and, of course, much friendlier that US airlines.I am starting to look at how to get to the game, and I am a Delta high mileage guy.

Thanks. I work for a company in Edinburgh, so I thought I would spend a long (3 day weekend) in Dublin, then head to Edinburgh and back through Iona before returning home. So, any and all recommendations are welcome.I fly Aerlingus frequently. They fly AirBus 330's from the US to Dublin and Shannon(Boston only).

I will be flying Aerlingus in October for my last golfing pilgrimage to Ireland
- I will report my experience. Flying home from Dublin is unique in that you actually clear US Customs in Dublin, so be prepared to get there a little early.

If you decide to self drive around Ireland-invest in an Irish GPS or insure that you have a compatible app and phone service. I bought my GPS on eBay and without it I am sure that I would still be lost in Ireland
If a separate thread is pinned, I will be happy to help with travel suggestions to Ireland, I can assure you that you could duplicate the packages that will be offered for far less than NU will charge but that leaves the question of tickets unanswered. The NU packages have surprisingly good seats relative to their bowl packages
If you are planning a long weekend trip then you should just experience Dublin. Dublin is very expensive, so be prepared. There are interesting things to do in the day-Guinness Factory etc but the pub scene in The Templebar will be a once in your life experience.
Longer trips can incorporate more " touristy" attractions, such as The Ring of Kerry and The Cliffs of Moher but each evening should be spent in a pub to meet the people of Ireland. Life in Ireland revolves around the village pub
Dining in Ireland is an acquired taste but Italian and Indian are safe bets to be edible. Avoid steaks or "Phil Its" as the Irish call them-the soles of your shoes will be more tender. Seafood is generally good and pub fare a good safety net
I have already booked my hotel and will look for one near the Templebar district when their registries open
A $500-600 airfare should be jumped on if found
I would prefer to stay near the Templebar district but booked The Grand Hotel in Malahide-a 20 minute taxi ride to Dublin Center. There is train service from Connolly Station to Malahide also.Where are you staying in Dublin? I’m thinking of 2-3 nights in Dublin with a couple of other nights at a B&B on the other coast (Galway) and a couple of nights in a castle. Any suggestions?
I love London. I’ve said it is the only other city I’d live in other than Chicago. If only I could understand their sports page.I will be living in London next year so expect I’ll be able to make this game quite easily. If I can get tickets.

Are you Wild Bill Donovan himself?"You are never lost in Ireland as long as you have a tongue in your mouth"
