    For anyone that sees a deal on Groupon for getaways outside Ireland with flights and hotel. Don't do it. For a 2 night stay in Paris with Disneyland day ticket and accommodation it it was 209pp which is grand. But when I called Deluxe Breaks to confirm the flight times they told me the flights were arriving at 10.30pm on a Saturday night without transfers so probably checking in to the room by midnight. Then the flight home offered was 9.45am Monday morning. So really you're getting 1 day in Paris. I was then offered better flight times for Sat morning depart and 10pm coming home Monday night, but for an extra 60 euro each.
    The flights are with Ryanair and when i checked Ryanairs website, the better option of flights are actually cheaper by 13 euro each. It's an absolute joke of a "Deal". I'v checked it out booking it all myself and it works out cheaper to do it yourself.

    This was a Christmas present so i couldn't just tell my girlfriend to send it back.

    Best just to stay away from these "Deals" as they're in no way a deal. <SNIP>.

    I've had a few good experiences, but a few bad ones too. With the hotel deals , you will never get their best rooms but generally ok. As for restaurant deals, good luck at getting a reservation for any reasonable day/time you want. Always 'booked out, sorry'. I've stopped getting the e-mails
