    There are loads of links in the sticky at the top of this fourm. I suggest you get clicking!

    Lastminute.com threw out a 2 Leg via LHR outbound and 2 Leg via LGW for €418 incl taxes and charges (LHR to EDI is in business class :D).

    Go to the Aer Arann website, here and enter in the details on the left (leaving from and going to, dates, number of passengers) and select the cheapest webfares there and you can book it online

    If cost was the main criteria, and not time, the bus is very cheap.

    Good luck with the flights.

    Would you like us to pay for it too?

    It doesn't seem to me that it's urgent enough for you to actually do some research yourself!

    For direct flights this weekend, I think that's reasonable. Ryanair has you spoiled.

    I remember flying to London once and paying £500 and that was Super Apex! 1987, I think it was.

    :cool: i win

    £100 from belfast with easyjet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,939 ✭✭✭mikedragon32


    + cost of drive up there from Waterford + parking + drive from Belfast to Waterford....

    :)

    Still, not bad!

    £100 = €150

    €434 - €150 = €284

    petrol for round trip, say €20.

    my way saves over €200 :D which could be gambled on a horse and turned into €400, which in turn could be gambled on dog's......

    ultimately, my way could make you a millionaire :) and it all began with saving €200 on a flight to scotland :)

    Fair fecks to ya smemon. You always come up trumps. :)

    Better still, fcuk Scotland and start with €400!!!! You could be a millionaire that little bit quicker! :D

    BTW, what do you drive that you would get from Waterford to Belfast return on €20 of petrol? A scooter?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,473 ✭✭✭✭Our man in Havana


    €40-50 would be a closer estimate based on a 400 mile round trip.
