Thanks all, that's saved us coffinup £67 each which isn't needed, just seen another flight we could get for only £11.00 return now!

 

BTW Anyone ecer been to Dublin? If so what did you think to it?

 

All you've got to remember is your trainers cause last time my parents went, they wouldn't reserve seats and as soon as the gate opened it was 'every man for himself'. Though a couple of them were disappointed when my parents finally got on board after slowly ambling over the tarmac, and needed the roomier disabled seats, mua-ha-ha ;)

Sounds remarkably like Ryanair - get what you pay for!

Schengen agreement or something? I know if you're travelling within Europe you don't need a passport to get between EU countries, but seems the UK is only country to not sign up to this! Chances are they'd let you into Ireland, but you wouldn't be able to get back in (knowing this place!!)!

Personally I think Dublin is fantastic, but it depends what you want out of it.It's very busy, can be scruffy, but is full of character, the people are great, as are the pubs, just be careful which ones you go in.

Not quite. The UK does not recognise the Schengen agreement, and neither does Eire. The travel identity requirements between the UK and Eire are as described in earlier posts (specified photo ID) and the Schengen agreement bears no relevance given neither country has adopted it.
