Best Value Flight To Cork

[smurfchops]

From Gatwick or Heathrow pse. We usually go Aer Lingus, is any other airline better value? Cant get a link for BA, apart from via Lisbon at over £1000 one way!

[Buenchico]

The only London to Cork flights are as follows:

Aer Lingus from Heathrow
Ryanair from Gatwick or Stansted.

That's the lot.

[ummmm]

Ryanair will probably be best value.

Never flown with Ryanair. Are they OK?

[buildersmate]

In what particular area of customer service did you desire to know their performance?
To what extent are you willing to compromise?

[gingejbee]

Ryanair...customer service...in the same sentence?

[smurfchops]

Never fancied Ryanair, I have always used Aer Lingus. Wondered what the alternatives were ...

I love Ryanair. It's my favourite airline (and I've flown with some wonderful full-fare carriers too, such as Qantas). Just make sure that you read everything carefully on their website and understand their way of working. (Most of the complaints about Ryanair seem to come from people who, for example, know about the restrictions on the size of hand luggage but who still expect Ryanair to let them sneak over-sized bags into the cabin without paying extra for them). When booking, you need to ensure that you de-select any 'extras' that Ryanair like to pre-tick by default (such as travel insurance) but it's all very simple really.

I know Ryanfair is known for terrible service, but my son flew with them once had no problems whatsoever. Just make sure you are careful with abiding by their rules, as Buenchico says.

all pretty much of a muchness. ryanair may well give you a cost edge but that wouldn't be much comfort if you live somewhere like (say) kingston or uxbridge and have to fight your way through the mega-roadworks on the m25 to get to Stansted.

[ummmm]

Ryanair are sound.

[ummmm]

I fly with them 2 or 3 times a year. England to Ireland is an hour flight time.
