    Hi
    If any Munster supporters have decided not to travel to Edinburgh for the final after yesterdays devastating loss, I wonder if you would consider selling me your travel tickets? I am desperately trying to get to my home town of Edinburgh from Munster for my best friends wedding on the 23rd May.

    Obviously cancelling your flight is not an option as you will not get your money back but names on tickets can be changed and I would be willing to purchase tickets for flight or ferry for the following dates:
    22nd -25th May- I need tickets for 2 people. Either flying from Shannon or Cork to Glasgow or Edinburgh, or Ferry from Belfast/Larne to Scotland on the Friday and returning on the Monday.

    If anybody would be interested in off loading flights and getting your money back please let me know.

    done it before - and it's worth it! next week I'm driving from Dijon in France to Cherbourg, so I'll be in training :D

    Given that Ryanair will begin to rip everyone off with their lovely price hikes off the top of my head I can suggest the following airports which are a few hours within range.

    Glasgow,
    Liverpool,
    Birmingham

    B-ham and and Liverpool are pretty cheap if you book in advance. If you book the train now you'll get it for nothing.

    For Ireland Scotland we flew into Newcastle, and got the train into Edinburgh, and it was grand..

    The train system in the UK is good, so don't be afraid to fly somewhere far away, and get the train..

    I booked my flights, hotels and tickets ages ago as I go most years, regardless of who is in the final, as its always a great weekend on the p1ss - But this is simply aamzing, GET IN THERE :)

    Ryanair to Durham Tees Valley, Leeds-Bradford or even fly Ryanair Dublin-Bournmouth, Bournmouth-Edinburgh.
    Think Air Arran fly to Aberdeen.

    And tickets...

    Guys I booked accommodation about 3 weeks ago but it took me nearly 3 weeks to find a place. You'll have to look outside of Edinburgh.
    There is a marathon or something on that week also and athletes are coming in early.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭MikeHoncho


    Managed to get coach, ferry and accomodation just outside Edinburgh for €350 with Marathon Travel. Its not the cheapest but sure it will have to do. Now to find tickets.

    I am flying to Aberdeen for 300 euro with a mate and then staying with some friends. Not sure how we'll get to Edinburgh, car hire or train.
    I just have to get match tickets now.
