How much is a return ticket I am planning to go to Ireland
with my family. We would like
to take a low cost flight to
Dublin and then a coach or
train to Galway. We are
looking the cheapest one
because we are a family. So we
would like to know the price.
I don't think there are direct
low cost flight from Rome to
Galway, so we have to take a
coach. Thank you for your
answer.

The cheapest way to travel to Galway from Dublin is to purchase a Family Return Ticket, price €34.20, for the bus/coach. The Family ticket is for one or two adults and up to a maximum of three children under sixteen years of age. It is valid for one outward journey on the date of issue and for return journey for up to one month from date of outward travel. You can purchase the ticket at the Central Bus Station (Busáras) in Dublin. Bus Éireann is the national bus service, the site is below. The train is much more expensive with a family return ticket costing €132.00. |

What is the cheapest way to I'm planning and going to the
Sziget festival in Budapest
this August and I'm already
noticing that direct flights
to Budapest are becoming quite
expensive. Does anybody know
of any alternative, cheaper
ways of getting to Budapest
without having to spend more
than 3 days travelling? Could
anybody give me a list of
airports close to Budapest
that can be reached from
Dublin? I know Bratislava is
an option, just looking for
some others! Thank you.

The Patton Flyer sounds like a good option @ €8. A taxi would cost at least €40. The Blackrock Clinic is not actually in Blackrock, but on the Rock Road, past the Tara Towers Hotel. It is a couple of hundred yards on the left after the turn for Booterstown Avenue and before Merrion Avenue. A taxi from Hueston Station would be about €25 / €30 |
