Bus Eireann Economy vs Standard

    I was looking to book the eurolines coach service to london (which can be done online now via buseireann) but what i found a little odd was they offer an economy and a standard ticket; €60 and €82 return respectively.

    There is only ever one transit, it always leaves tipperary @ 4.35pm. So on the exact same coach, what is the difference in service? Or is the details in the booking, is it just simply a non refundable ticket.

    Thanks

    Presumably it means on board the ship?

    Everyone is free to site anywhere (or lye as most do) there are no marked seating areas

    The only differentiating service being a cabin which will cost about €50 for each trip depending

    Well looking more closely at this, when you look at the ticket descriptions on the website it describes the Economy ticket as a promotional fare that must be booked at least 5 days in advance, return journey must be within one month, and it cannot be changed.

    That is what is known as an antimacasser.

    There is Club Class on Irish Ferries, or Stena Plus which cost around €20 extra.
