Downright crazy how much more it is for us over here on the other side of the pond! My tickets generally are $800+!!! thats so much less money to blow on buds! Lucky Buggers!
With East Coast US origin, $800 is about what I have seen for a direct flight also.

In May 2011 the best fare I got was Aer Lingus $585 connecting through Dublin.

I just bought Icelandair connecting flight through Rejkjavik May 2012 for $668. Their East Coast hubs are Boston, New York (JFK), and Dulles VA (I think).

Once traveling through Europe I flew Ryanair from Stensted to Eindhoven + 45 minute coach ride = Amsterdam. It was a very inexpensive.

Is yer Ryanair option a direct flight?

I noticed the low priced carrier called "transavia" is gona branch out to UK & irish airport in the next year,,,,, Then you will be able to fly to rotterdam & eindhoven as well as amsterdam.
