Irish Independent free flights

walsh08 · 2015-01-10 17:09:42

Hi guys.Just saw that the Irish Independent are apparently giving away free flights to selected European cities if you buy today's paper. I have not yet purchased the paper but you may have to buy a few weeks papers for tokens but still you get free flights!!…

After reading through the t&c's, thought it was too much hassle and the fact an extra person would be €99, decided it would be cheaper booking direct.
I've love to hear how you get on though.

There's the risk of getting a bad time but if you just book for one person on the ticket for free, and get a cheap flight to Oslo. Then let the second person book separately to you. All depends on the airlines, which we don't yet know...

Was Ryanair (to Edinburgh) last year for me.

Don't know if they use others as well, though?

Takes up to a month after you send the stuff back.

I sent the tokens away about 2 or 3 years ago, still waiting to hear from them.
