Airfare to Ireland
 

Any one have suggestions for airfare to Ireland? I am going over for work and would like to take my wife with. We would be traveling July 29th (after 6:oo p.m. US central time) or July 30 and returning on Aug 7th. Our airport for departure is MSP (Minneapolis/St. Paul) and flying or need to get to Dublin.

Best I can find is $1200 something from Airfrance.

Any help would be great!!!!!!!

You have any discount (domestic) carriers that serve MSP? Toronto-Dublin is available for $801 all taxes included, on precisely the dates you're seeking; AirCanada-AerLingus via Glasgow.

Best wishes,

Rex

Nope, NWA has a strangle hold on MSP. Maybe I could find something to Canada

Rex where did you find that price? Which site and what codes for the airports? I know Dublin is DUB

topping

hoping to hear back from Rex as well as thoughts from others

Before you get all worked up about YYZ-DUB, check the fares between MSP-YYZ. I have a feeling you will end up with ~ the same $ amount.

You will have to face reality. You want to leave in less than 3 weeks during an extremely busy summer season between US and Europe. There are no bargains out there.

Your only hope is <b>www.priceline.com</b>

Good luck!

I found ir on orbitz - - As AAFF said, YYZ is Toronto, but you don't have to know that to do the search on Orbitz.

I started with AerLingus.com but I couldn't find any open flights at all (from/to ORD, for example) for your return date, nor plus or minus one day.

I seem to reall traveling to NSP (quite a few years ago) on some low-cost carrier, from Chicago Midway (I lived in Columbus at the time, and had to fly some different carrier to get to Midway, probably Southwest); I just don't remember the details. Thought maybe you had some choices that could get you to YYZ (by way of Midway?)

If you can get a $1,200 fare on Air France with a not-too-crazy itinerary, I suggest you grab it.

Because I can't even find that fare. The cheapest &quot;bookable&quot; fare on Orbitz for MSP-DUB is a weird USAir/AA mixed itinerary for about $1,150.

Most other itineraries, including better one-stops on NW or KLM on 7/29 are in the $1,400s.

ummmm, sounds like I found the best buy at Air France

If anyone else has ideas let me know, thanks

Since you are flexible on the outbound you should try www.priceline.com, 7/30-8/7. Offer ~$750 and see what happens. What do you have to loose? (You should not try 7/29 as the flight you may get could be departing before 6 pm)

If you get it you save a nice chunk of $.

check fares on NWA to Amsterdam, and then checkout ryanair to Dublin.
