    Went abroad, and finished up the process when things were pretty open last summer. We did it in Manchester. We knew folk who went to Barcelona and also went Prague. But logistics was one of the drivers for Manchester. The UK is also good for public stats on success for clinics.

    Think carefully about logistics, time to fly to the city/country. How often flights are. How you get from the airport to the clinic. We did a couple of trips together. I [the bloke] had to go twice I think, and she [wifey] went two if not three times?

    So if there is only one flight a week, or only a flight in the middle of the day, it really really limits your options of when you can take an appointment in the clinic [or means you need to add hotel stays, etc]

    Thank you so much for your helpful answer. Generally we decided go through IVF with Bahceci in Istanbul. But unfortunatley the flights are still closed like I found out. I hope the restrictions will be lifted soon. :(

    Turkish airlines are flying Dublin to Istanbul daily.

    Gennet in Prague and Serum in Athens have had good feedback from Irish people. There's a clinic in Barcelona that's also popular but I don't know the name of that one.

    Yes, I know there are flights. But like I know it is not possible to enter to the country...

    Travelling for medical treatment might be permitted though? Or I know that clinics abroad can often do the assessment over zoom, and you do the various tests in Ireland then you are just going over for the actual procedure itself so it might be worth asking the clinic?
