    Can't see how this can be deemed to be a bargain, other airlines are cheaper without having a sale on.

    Not really a bargain

    €280 return to NY would be a bargain.

    I was looking back about a month ago and for the same dates the fare has gone down over 100e. Shannon to NY JFK in November is going to cost €480:cool: oh i can't wait! ha, I think its good enough

    Delta €455
    DUB to JFK Fri, Aug 22
    JFK to DUB Fri, Aug 29

    thats good, even though I had nothing but delays with delta last month i'd nearly fly with them again! My trip in november has a 600e difference between delta and aer lingus-aer lingus being cheaper:eek:;)

    Nice prices to San Francisco also....

    I paid 435 back in late April for flights to NY with aer lingus to fly in September
    Currently with the sale, those flights are about 500ish.

    BA have a sale on at the moment and you can fly for cheaper from Dublin-heathrow-NY when compared to aerlingus.com

    Shop around guys...

    my flights (same dates) will only save me €10 opposed to Aer lingus, at least from shannon i have a non stop flight to NY-with BA i'd have to fly from cork-heathrow-JFK. I think people would agree to pay the €10 for less hassle?? BA can sometimes be cheaper though yes

    ahh yeah...if its a tenner its not worth your while for sure...

    My mate saved almost 100 by booking with ba over aerlingus.
    In cases like this, I think it makes sense to book with ba.

    PS in the current BA sale if you register with the site you can an extra 30 euro off flights.

    I just priced Dublin to Orlando via Gatwick - €164 each way for 4 of us, but then add nearly €1650 for tax and charges!!!

    Was thinking about hitting LA and SF in October. Flying into LA and out of San Fran. The outbound flight from SF to Dub would be paid in dollars and with current conversion rates works out at 248 Euro including taxes and all that. I assume Aer Lingus will allow one to book flights this way?

    All in all going to LA from Dub and back to DUB from SF it comes in at €556.46 all in which I think is pretty darn good!

    Cheers,
    M

    i went to that site, it quoted 779 dollars for the 7th-11th november flights mentioned above (by teresasaunt), but when went to select, the price came down to 325 dollars.

    Now that is a bargain!

    (didn't buy the tickets myself though :()
