Flight for Ireland $800 did I get a good deal??
I decided to book our airfare today even though our trip is not till October. I have been looking at flights for a few months and the flight I wanted went up to $1000 from $798 in 1 day. There was only one good flight left that would work at $802 so I jumped on it. Longer layover but glad I booked that before all flights skyrocket because of gas. I booked with Orbitz just in case the flight goes down. Seeing all the post the past few days on Europe airfare Im glad mine was only $800. These airfare prices are killing my travel goals

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

I agree, I think $800 round-trip/person is a good fare. We've paid less, but that was several years ago, before fares started going bananas. If it helps put it in perspective, I found a round-trip fare for $700 to Sweden.
In November. In the winter, when tourism starts to dip.
If you keep thinking "I could have done better" you'll never be satisfied. My H does this and it drives me crazy.
I think that is a great price for October travel. I just went to Ireland in January and paid about $700 for a direct flight. I would expect the airfare in October to be more anyway since January is off season.
Have a great trip! I really love Ireland. I've been there twice and would love to go back again.
