good luck with the move mate, i have family in Boston - i love it!, i noticed air lingus was quite cheap when i was looking for single fares... managed to book a one way (first class) through american airlines points! only cost £189, although i don't want to think how much it actually costs to build those miles! haha.

Thanks, good luck to you too! I chose Bristol because it's easy for me living in Devon and also going through POE at Dublin and not waiting hours at Logan will be bliss after my last two Logan experiences"

I haven't booked yet (my fiancee will be here next week so we will book the flight together :)) but i plan to fly from London Luton to Dublin, then Dublin to Johnstown, PA through Washington Dulles

I can book the Dublin to Johnstown, PA as one ticket but i can't figure out how to book London Luton to Dublin onto it, so i'll just buy separately i guess..

Unless i'm missing something? :/

If you do book two separates, allow time for your bags and re check - in at Dublin..

Don't see any problem with a one way ticket when you are moving for good. Must have been an isolated case surely

Why would they? They shouldn't even be given the opportunity unless they have cause to search your bag. If you show your visa in your passport and the envelope I highly doubt anyone but a cbp officer will open the envelope!

Thanks for the advice in here, just booked Bristol- Dublin - Boston on July 2nd. It all feels very real now!![/]

Eek! Good luck!

I saw the letter J and 2nd and thought we were flying on the same day, but then realised you're flying a whole month after me :P I need to wake up! It's obviously too early for me.

I've also heard of Origin airports trying to open up the sealed packet.

Yes, in people from other countries than the UK, am I right? Fear mongering is really not productive.

Seriously?! Is there any part of the process you don't freak out about?

Will do! Thought it might be helpful as there aren't many reviews for Dublin. I'm going with my fiancé so at least I have some help with the 4 suitcases I'm bringing along...

Why is Dublin appealing to you? Why not London to Dulles non-stop? Is it that much cheaper to hop around?

London to Johnstown, PA through Dulles is £1200 1 way. From Dublin it's £650.. Absolutely no idea why!
