How much are flights typically?

The best price is $650-$750 per person. It is hard to find it for less but it is easy to over pay. If you look too far in advance, you will see way higher quotes. As well as, if you wait too close to departure time, you will over pay. We will send out emails and text when the quotes are in the best range. Keep an eye out.

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

Short answer, yes. No visa is required. If you do not have a passport, it is a surprisingly easy process but does need to be done well in advance. Also, for those who have a passport, you must make sure it is valid for 6 months AFTER the trip date.

Question

What type of currency do they use in Ireland?

Answer

Ireland is apart of the EU, and they use the euro. It is slightly higher than the US Dollar. For example: 10 euros is 11.70 US. However, you do not need euros if you have a credit card, you can use this pretty much anywhere in Europe. If you want some cash in pocket, we recommend you wait to arrive in Europe and use an ATM to withdraw euros using your debit card. The exchange rate at ATM's in their country will always be cheaper than getting euros here in the US before flying. If you have any other questions regarding currency, reach out to us and we can help.
