yeah I need to look into it soon.
Woo! 150 Days or so still The Chase Begins for mise! Cant wait!
Just checked the BA website for another price est.
IM goin to new jersey after dallas for a week then back to dublin... all in all ... they give a price of €899 ... about £770 ... hopefully thatll go down once sales start.
WHat u guys think of that price anyways?

I normally find it cheaper to just go to the Irish BA or AA website and select DFW from here (Cork) this will include an Aerlingus flight to Heathrow that will be a hell of allot cheaper than booking the connecting flight separately.
We normally meet up in the Hotel in Heathrow the night before flights on tour 1 for the pre-stormchase management meeting / meet up. I used to book a separate flight to London to accomodate this, but have found in recent years that if you can book that as a single trip the automated system fill give you a much cheaper round trip for the inconvience for having to arrange possible overnight accomodation, which I needed anyway.
Cheers John,
Ive been checkin BA regularly for flights, id be much happier goin to Heathrow from dublin if it means gettin a direct flight from there.
Didnt know about the general meet up before tour 1, i shall be marking that date on my calender so!

Im going a day early like last year so I can recover with beer and food..lol
Staying in DFW HOTEL
Right cool ... thanks for letting us know, i think itll be good to get some rest after the travel before goin on the EPIC chase ha .

BA and AA usually compete in January for seats so I'll be waiting till then. AA at the mo is about £580, BA is £560 for Heathrow direct to Dallas, got mine for £380 this season just gone. Just noticed though on both sites that they are offering both BA and AA flights, so you could end up flying out with AA and back with BA. Don't think this was the case this year.
Guess you could always get a short flight from Dublin to Heathrow if it works out way cheaper
Ye ill look into that, gettin a cheap flight to london would be best if it means gettin a direct flight to dallas, as stop overs on the way over would be risky i think as ther could be delays.
380 is great, thats about 450 euro, im goin to New Jersey tough afterwards to visit an uncle of my for a week so ye even more misery for me trying to look for flights.
I worked it out at about 900 euro , if that goes down to 700 even id be delighted.... All eyes on the sales so!
Are u planning on goin over on the actual designated day for travel... or do some people go a day early if its cheaper?, sorry for all the questions pal ha

It would have been the early hours of yesterday morning I'm guessing, here's the link from the Met Eireann site here
ye it probably was the early hours, as last nite my thermometer was ready 8.0 degrees , and im only 15 mins from the airport.
Still tough, some quite cold temps for october!
-
Dublin airport got to -3.3C yesterday. The lowest it reached between 61-90 in October was just -0.6C, so possibly a new record here? The lowest November temperature it recorded during the same period is just -3.4C!
Yesterday?.........you sure your not on about sunday ? It was quite mild here yesterday.
