TRAVELING TO DUBLIN
The Irish Airline, Aer Lingus, flies direct to Dublin from most major U.S. cities. If you don’t have an international airport nearby, they have partnered with JetBlue to get you where you need to be for discounted prices. Even now, during the busy tourist season, we’
ve seen flights ranging from $400 to $700 roundtrip. If you travel during the shoulder or off-season, the deals will probably be even better!
As always, make sure to do some comparative shopping before booking a ticket. Check out: Farecompare.com, Kayak.com, Orbitz, and Travelocity.
**If you are coming from the UK or mainland Europe, Ryanair and EasyJet are inexpensive ways to fly!
WHERE TO STAY
Many of the hotels and hostels around the city center have great deals, especially when staying mid-week or during the off-season. I highly recommend spending a little extra on a well located hotel for convenience sake. You’ll be able to walk or bus to most sites, which will save you oodles on taxis! ** The prices below are NOT per person but per room or apartment! If you’
re traveling with friends, these are totally Fab & Fru prices!

ERIN GO BRAGH! (Ireland Forever!)
On my last trip to Ireland, I was able to budget in a week’s worth of fun and activities for just about $1,600 –
including airfare! Not bad for a fabulous international get away… As we found out first hand, the land of Guinness and greenery can definitely be enjoyed on a Fabulous & Frugal budget. Bottoms up!
