Aer Lingus - 50% off Fare - Not applicable to Taxes and Charges

keithclancy

Hey

Was booking flights and noticed Aer Lingus have 50% off.

Booked one flight the day before yesterday, paid 143.98 in Jan.

Was looking at another 4 flights and they were a bit pricey, 158 Euros for a flight at the end of Jan and 144 in February.

Looked yesterday with the Sale and it had gone from 158 down to 124 and in Feb from 144 down to 112

Kinda miffed I didn't wait a day for the first flight but the saving now covers my ICE Train from Schiphol to Dusseldorf :pac:

Maybe it benefits someone else also, valid until the 25th of March (Think i'll wait until Jan for the next one. Doesn't seem to be anything over Christmas.

Cheers!

when i see an airline discount thread like this i get a little excited.

so went on straight away and checked for flights to manchester in march....

Aer Lingus return (with 50% discount) = €85.99

Ryanair return = €19.98

Times are like for like

Short lived excitement.
On the plus-side though, it reminded me to book a flight to Manchester with their competitor for a quarter of the price!

Thanks Aer Lingus!

Reduced but not by 50%. I have yet to see a 50% reduction by Aer Lingus-Ryanair always seem to work out cheaper anyway.

Some good reductions on canaries flights from Cork in Feb in fairness to them

Read the T&C's.

50% reduction applies to the base fare only, taxes and fees excepted.

yeah I know that.....what they might take off in the fare, they have added on in taxes and fees. Otherwise the fares would actually be down by half instead of just 20 or 30 euro.

I booked a flight to Schipol in January & the base fare shows a 50% reduction, with no increase to the standard taxes or fees charged routinely on that route.

Read the title of the Thread again

Have 3 returns for the wife and 2 kids booked for 123 return from munich to cork/(back via)Dublin.
Have been tracking these for a while and it was at least 150 return the whole time so happy enough with the sale.
Taxes are 81 euro per person, so with that as the starting point paying €30 for the fare (plus12 admin fee) is about as low as you can reasonably ask for or expect.
