Flight
When it comes to booking flights the fare can vary a few hundred dollars depending on timing. My best advice would be to go to Kayak.com and look up the flights you are thinking. From there, you can set a price tracker and get alerts when the cost of the flight/s you are looking at goes down! Kayak also allows you to see the cheapest days it is to travel if your schedule is flexible! www.google.com/flights is another good option to compare flight rates at!
Travel Note
This bus is the best way to get from Dublin Airport to Belfast. If you fly direct from the states your flight will most likely be an overnight one. Think of this bus trip as an extra 90 minute nap once you arrive! When you land, head towards where all the buses are (directly outside the airport) and find the Aircoach 705x Express to Belfast. They run from Dublin Airport to Belfast every hour on the hour, and run from Belfast to Dublin Airport every hour on the half hour. The ride will be about 90 minutes and drops you right off at Belfast City Center. There is a taxi stand to the left where the bus lets you off. For your trip home, the bus will pick you up from the same spot and drop you at Dublin Airport. The Aircoach 705x is a direct bus making 0 stops between Dublin Airport and Belfast. Pricing for the bus is as follows (check website for more info): *You will have to pay in Euro or by contactless credit card. Adult RT: (euros): €24.00 Child RT: (euros): €14.00
Rental Car
There are a number of car rental companies directly at Dublin Airport. Prior to renting a vehicle, it's important to be aware that in Ireland cars are driven on the opposite side of the road, and the steering wheel is also on the opposite side of the car. It can be quite confusing, which is why I would suggest taking the Bus if you are just planning on staying in Belfast. Belfast is easily traveled by foot/ car!
Train
If you find yourself spending some time in Dublin before heading to Belfast, or after, there is a train that leaves from Dublin City Center. See information in link.
Hotel
The Merchant Hotel's Bar is the iconic spot where Jack and Sean Muldoon first won their "World's Best Bar" accolade. It was here that the two of them decided to start their journey to New York to build The Dead Rabbit. The Merchant is by far the most expensive of our Hotel options but for those of you looking to treat yourselves, The Merchant does not disappoint. On average room's are about $280-$300 a night and you can get a 10% discount for staying 3 nights in a row. It is a gorgeous option, however- all 3 hotels are close to each other and brilliant places to stay! Katie and Jack will be staying here!

House Or Rental
If you are coming with a group and want more of a "home" like feel, Air BNB's are fairly cheap around Belfast and also provide a great option for you to stay! When looking at homes, just keep in mind that most of the events will be in the City Center, and transportation to and from the Wedding will be leaving from the 3 hotels listed as well!
