Ok, I wish I found this earlier, but this offer ends at midnight tonight: :eek:

I've booked myself a week in Dublin, and I can fly from Bristol :cool:

I had to pay a tenner to take luggage, but apart from that, no hidden charges, taxes or anything!

Now I gotta book a hotel or something similar...

how can you fly from bristol? i can only see free flights from Irish airports.

ooh found the pdf now

I only live around 2 miles from Bristol airport - It's quite noisey with planes going over all the time, but it's really handy for when I need to use it. Hell, I could walk up there if I needed to!

Forgot to mention, flights have to be either in Sep or Oct, so if your at school it may not be ideal.

Most of the planes only have 2 jets which I assume are quieter. I've kind of got used to the planes anyway by now... but the odd chopper is really noisey tho. :mad:

taxes or anything

some of the routes arent free. says free but when i book it in the period a price comes up. e.g. £9.99 or smt and thats not counting taxes. Taxes arent included

tried it a few times on various flights. :confused:

so gl on finding a totally free return flight.

You've gotta choose the right times to fly. For example, my flights could only be on tuesday or wednesday, so I booked these days. I payed a tenner to have 1 bag, and that's all I got charged. Click on the route you wanna take, and it says what times are and aren't free.

Still the offer ends in 90mins, so I guess I made this thread a bit late.

look at the pdf, this will tell you when there are free flights.
i tried a few and a return journey worked out at 2p per person. no free flights that i could find (on dates i checked), but plenty of 1p flights.

Strange. i just tried stanstead to venice from 5th to 11th of sep, and it came to a tenner each way.

The exact same dates from bristol to dublin was 1p each way... perhaps the free seats on that route may be used up?

Oh damn, that would have been awesome if I didn't read it just now. :mad:

They had some pretty cool destinations too, would have been pretty good to go to Italy on holiday for a few weeks.

I also wish my passport was in date..
