I always use orbitz..................I was looking for a flight to Dublin in April/May and I found one for $550.00. Try Travel Zoo-they will tell you the 4 best websites.

good luck

Summer is peak travel time for Europe. It will be nearly impossible to find "cheap" tickets to europe in the summer.

All I can suggest is to keep checking, and pray for a sale. It's not likely though.

I've used Orbitz, Air Gorilla, and www.airfare.com. Hope this helps. :)

Yeah, this is definately a peak travel time...I've even been checking for tickets during my spring break in a few weeks...tickets ain't cheap then either!

Just got Craig end of March to end of April to England for 395.00 on Expedia..everything included. I always have found the best price there even over Orbitz, but I'm sure it fluctuates..good luck! M.

you could always try priceline or hotwire for cheaper prices. I think it has to be within 90 days of your travel date, but it's one of those deals where you dont know the exact flight times until you pay.

I did it for a trip to germany, and it came out to be $499 round trip with taxes included, versus $650 if I were to book the exact same (cheapest) flight from expedia or anywhere else.

Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity and such always have the best deals, but it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a cheap ticket to Italy for the summer. When we got our tickets for Feb they were barely $600, while now that we got the ones for june they were already $1200! :crying:

...I guess we'll just have to star planning our trips at different times of the year than Christmas/summer, because those two are the worst to travel! But hey, Christmas and summer in Italy are soooooo good! :blush:

Good luck, and keep us updated! :thumbs:

Irishgirl try going directly to the aerlingus site for Dublin. Their prices can't be beat. We have used them several times now and they have specials all the time.

I also found that some of the time you get better prices booking directly off the airline.

Thanks I will do that :yes:

I would have to travel to JFK from Philly-that is why I always end up going through Orbitz. I have a $150.00 travel voucher from US Air(because they lost my luggage for a few days), so that helps. I also got an e-mail from Orbitz today..............If I book a trip before 3/31 I get $200.00 off!!!!

The problem-I won't know by 3/31 when his interview is going to be-it figures :whistle:

I have read here before where someone going through Dublin called the embassy & told them that they(the US citizen) was going to be in the country such and such a date & they moved up the interview date. I may actually book something & then if I have to change it I will pay the difference. If I can use the travel voucher and the Orbitz coupon, my flight would only be $200 ;)

Might work out better for me that way.

I spoke to someone at the embassy & they told me he would probably have his interview by end of April, early May...................which would be really nice!!!!!
