I just booked mine, $115 total with US Air frequent flyer miles. I'll be across the street from Voyagers at the Doubletree, no charge, courtesy of Hilton HHonors.

IOW my total transportation and lodging costs for a 9 day blowout will be $115.

Heh.

So it never fails, another year, another reminder....klm flights drop to their lowest five weeks from departure....never fails....every year for three years,.....and it did it again today, five weeks out, $898 round trip direct taxes included yyz to ams.
Same price i paid in feb, but reassuring to know next year buying closer to departure.

Checked for my birthday next August £129 return from Aberdeen. Hour and a half flight so nothing to complain about. :mrgreen: I feel for all the Americans! Never realised it cost so much for you guys! :shock:

@sailor: if Ireland does go ahead and legalise do you know if its for locals only? Never been to Ireland and imagine its got some nice scenery for a good smoke session!

Nah, I just keep winding Matty up about it being a few hundred bucks cheaper to fly to the Dam from the US via Dublin. Hour and a half from the Granite City? Poor bugger, 40 minutes from dahn saaf. :wink: Best I ever did it was 2.5 hrs from my front door to Voyagers front door. Bloody place was shut. :(

Ireland & Dublin, good times indeed. Especially Dublin if you enjoy getting lost and disoriented.
There must have been a door there in the wall when I came in.
