Dublin
On A Budget by Mairead Foley
With the current economic climate
we are all looking for ways to save money, this does not mean however that
you cannot take that well-deserved holiday! The following article takes
a look at Dublin city and offers some great tips and advise on how to holiday
in this great European city on a budget.
FLYING TO DUBLIN
| Dublin Airport is conveniently
located approximately 10km north of Dublin City Centre. Dublin Airport
is Ireland's busiest airport with over 33 airlines catering for both direct
and transfer flights making this wonderful city easily accessible from
all corners of the world. When booking flights you will want to avail of
the best price possible, the following tips can certainly pay off when
booking a flight to Dublin:
Shop around - Prices do change
so it is advisable to shop around, check online and with your local travel
agent and compare prices. There is a huge difference in airline prices
between high and low season. During high season there is great demand and
prices are normally at their most expensive. During low season airlines
can cut their rates dramatically to attract business. So if you can travel
during low season you could save yourself a considerable amount of money. |

There are some great last
minute deals available and you can bag yourself a bargain, however, booking
well in advance can also be a money saver! The 'Low Fares Airlines' are
cheaper when booked in advance and continue to increase in price closer
to the date as seats are filled. For 'Charter Flights', seats are sold
at a higher rate in advance, and closer to the date prices are cut on all
seats remaining.

Booking on-line can save
you money, time and hassle. Be aware however of any hidden extras and ensure
to go to the end of the booking process to view all taxes, insurance and
any other additional fees that may be added on. Never confirm a booking
until you are fully aware of the total price!
Be as flexible as you can
when choosing your dates, weekdays are normally cheaper than weekends and
flight times can also make an impact on price. Research and research again,
then compare pricing.
Unfortunately there is no
one rule to purchase cheap flights, but the above information can help
in achieving just that. Never ponder too long on a great deal and if the
time is right, and most important, if the PRICE is right then book that
flight today.
