    I stayed in Santa Monica and there was plenty of public transport. The blue Bus Company do loads of routes.

    Advice - Stay away from the Ocean Lodge Hotel. Great location, but they ripped us off, and it's quite unsafe.

    As with all flight information, the times shown are local time so for example departing Dub @ 2.20pm is local time in Ireland and the 8.52pm is the local time in LA when you land in America

    Good stuff - Glad you got sorted

    Just updating the thread, I got back from Orlando on sunday after travelling with cheaptickets.com and I'd highly recommend them.The journey went without a hitch and virgin atlantic are a dream to travel with, right down to baggage allowances.I came back with 3 (big) extra suitcases and a guitar and they could'nt have been nicer! The saving of over 1000 euros went well towards the park tickets.

    Also just to add that I travelled to New York with British Airways and Aer Lingus that was booked through cheaptickets.com for €192 return in mid Feb.

    Everything went great and I can completely recommend cheaptickets.com to anyone who is looking for cheap flights.

    I'm doing a similar thing this month, can I ask if you had any problem with the aerlingus leg of the journey, the reference I got on the cheaptickets printout isn't recognised by the online booking system..... Also what was the baggage allowance for the flight. Thanks

    I'm travelling to New York in 3 weeks with Aer Lingus and BA as well, so would love to hear the procedure also, thanks

    The baggage allowance was 23 kilos. beware though, I was over 3kg as my sister packed my suitcase with her shopping and it cost me 45 dollars on the way back.

    No problem with Aer Lingus with regards to check in. You should ring cheaptickets and they can give you the British Airways reference number which you can enter into BA's website and pick seats etc. And once you have that you are sorted because you can print out your online booking form for both Aer Lingus and BA.

    Only problem we had with Aer Lingus was a ridiculous check in system which meant that we almost missed our flight to gatwick and had to sprint from the check in area to the other side of the airport. So make sure that you get there early and don't trust them to call all of the flights that are about to close. Otherwise it should be fine and NY rocks!

    It was in Dublin. They basically just had a completely stupid checked in system and loads of ppl seemed to be missing flights.

    We had to switch terminals in gatwick all right. As far as I remember we flew into the South Terminal and had to switch to the North Terminal.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭matt-dublin


    just booked california with ebookers.ie 390 return in january.

    to a local airport instead of lax/la/san fran as well!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 31,117 ✭✭✭✭snubbleste


    I think there are less airline seats available this year with the carriers mothballing aircraft instead of flying them with lower fares

    Having said that there a few deals around
    DUB-EWR-DEN Continental 05/12 - 13/12 €261
