    I know someone in Clonea Power, but I can't text her till the morning, and she might not be able to get me to teh airport then cuz she has a school run!

    I suppose a taxi would cost a fortune from the city?

    God, that's expensive isn't it. Return trip would be about €40, and it's €35 to park the car there for a week!

    Ripped off either way....lol

    Need a number or two for a local cabbie to see what price they would charge?

    Just wanted to double check with one of the drivers I know about this, hence the delay in my response :) Glad you got yourself sorted and if something changes and you need assistance just bump this thread and we will point you in the right direction.

    Enjoy! :D

    I flying to Luton next month and don't want to leave my car in Waterford Airport while away, so was thinking of getting the bus to Waterford City. But once there, there is no follow-on bus the the airport.:mad: This is unbelievable!

    http://www.waterfordairport.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=154&Itemid=100024

    And I don't want to pay €35.00 to park for the week! http://www.waterfordairport.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=154&Itemid=100024 - Since they reduced the flights to Luton, they've also increased the price of a ticket.:mad:

    Is Waterford airport not that great, that the local authorities don't want to make it accessible?

    I can only assume that this would be up to the Airport Auth'
    to initiate? But what amazes me is that you can afford to buy
    a plane ticket, I again assume that you're paying for accomodation
    & probably some taxis in the UK? Some people want it every way!
    Short arms & deep pockets in my view!

    Lots of assuming there, you have no idea of this persons circumstances or means.

    @SillyMcCarthy -You don't know me or my circumstances.

    It actually took me 3 months to save for the ticket and I could only afford to go over by booking so far in advance. Also, the reason I need to fly into Luton is I have friends there who will collect me and I stay with them.

    Do you always jump to conclusions and pick on people?

    Another bleeding heart!
    My dear lady, I'm just merely asking the questions!
    Surely you made allowances on how to get to the airport
    & the costs associated with fuel & parking there?
    Surely you have also made allowances for spending money in the UK?

    Quite correct JS, I don't but if you're going to travel by plane
    & complain about the cost associated with it, then she would have
    been better off travelling by bus!

    @Sillyetc, you certainly have a problem don't you?

    If my original question bothers you so much, why are you involed in this discussion? You have nothing concrete or helpful to add, just a load of childish whining and bitter accusations.

    Definitely something in the air the past few days. Maybe it was the thought of the pubs being closed. Who knows.

    Anyway, situation and crisis averted so I think we can all carry on and we shall close this up. I'm sure we will all learn to forgive the OP for not planning every little detail and assuming normality applies for bus rides and so on. Or whatever else comes up I guess.

    Enjoy your break OP. Do let us know when you are back how you got on. ;)
