Good to hear. Going to Dublin in June.
how'd you get that price?
i'm leaving in february and paying $594, which i thought was good as every other quote i got was from $650-700. although it does depend, i saw one flight for $400, all taxes in but it didn't suit my availability at all and was a last minute deal.
haha, i've spent about $3,400 in flights in the past year, it's ridiculous.
i called an agency, i forget which one exactly
it was for a chartered flight to get to GATWICK
thats about all I remember
the dude on the phone said it was around 550 (cant remember EXACT figure, but i know it was less than that) with taxes and all that other shit included...

that's a good deal. the ticket i paid for is a charter to gatwick too, 594 all taxes in. if you're planning on going to the uk in feb/march i'd definitely scoop it up at that price.
(i am a little weary though of a transatlantic flight with air transat...anyone flown over an ocean with them before?)

wow..you can only bring 2 pieces of luggage, 20 kg each with this airline which SUCKS (i'm a woman and a horrible packer).
last year when i was going to london, i was watching british airway's website every single day. they have awesome seat sales all the time and i would so much rather fly into heathrow than fly into gatwick (thatsjustmetho). plus, you can bring more than 20 kg of luggage.

when i booked my trip, i got an awesome deal with british airways. i wasn't happy with the return connection time (i'll be coming from nice), and the only decent flight was going in to gatwick. so i checked out british midlands' site, and i got a wicked deal on the nice-london heathrow leg. that's another airline to keep in mind. they always have sales!

I've flown to England twice on Air Transat and it really wasn't that bad at all. Then again I'm so easy peasy about flying I just go to sleep and wake up when we get there. Flying into Heathrow is much nicer than Gatwick though because you don't have to take that ghetto train into the city.
very disapointed with zoom's prices. i can fly aircanada (montreal/glasgow) for 20 odd dollars cheaper (and it also wouldn't require a lift/bus to ottawa)
this is far from the easyjet or ryanair of north america.
88 pounds of baggage for a 4 months stay is probably a tad too little. i can get 140 pounds with air canada. as much as i hate to fly air canada i'm not left with much choice anymore

$500 is alright, but Canada 3000 used to fly to gatwick for $400 or less....
Also, if you don't mind driving down to New York, just a few weeks ago I flew on British Airways from JFK to heathrow for about $400 canadian. Not a bad deal considering BA isn't exactly a budget airline.
