Getting There
...from the States
Airfare is currently pretty cheap ... we recommend grabbing your tickets sooner rather than later. We're seeing the best rates from the West Coast through Aer Lingus via Chicago or New York. If you're near Atlanta, Delta Airlines flies direct to Dublin, and might be a good option. You can also try American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and British Airways, especially if you want to arrange some time in the U.K. during your trip.
Regardless how you travel, try to be in Dublin by Wednesday or Thursday (March 8-9) to join up with the party early.
...from Europe
Hands down, Ryan Air seems to be the best way to travel around Europe nowadays, especially if you're flying into Dublin. Again, try to get to Dublin by Wednesday or Thursday (March 8-9) to join the party early.
