1160.0. "fyi - Virgin Atlantic airlines special" by TOLKIN::OROURKE (Always the trend setter...) Wed Dec 30 1992 18:35

    
    Just FYI for those that haven't heard:  
    
    Did you hear about the special deal on Virgin Atlantic airlines....
    if you buy before New Years and fly before the end of next March, it is
    only $285 for a roundtrip to Heathrow!    Sounds like a great deal....
    I know the ferry over to Ireland can't be much.

    Sorry, Jen.  I called my travel agent at home first thing this morning
    and he checked for me.  It's roundtrip FROM Heathrow and the fare is 93
    pounds each way.

    If I wait 'til after New Years maybe it will come down to $299?
    
    When do you have to buy this by, keVin?

    Fares from Boston to LOndon went on sale this morning.  $186+tax round
    trip from Boston.  Buy ticket by Friday of this week.  Must return by
    the end of February.  Last date you can leave from Boston is Feb. 10.
    
    Train + Ferry London to Dublin cost me $94 one way in June of 91.

    The ferry fee:  I think I read that the Ferry alone is only $28 one
    way...not bad for a 3 1/2 hour sailing.
    
    /jen (sigh....I wanna go)

    Denise,
    
    Rumour has it there are nighttime sailings so you don't have to lose
    the day....
    
    but IMHO spending a few hours out upon the glorious sea tis not a waste
    of time  :)

    	i meant the emerald isle...
    
    	i've been to southwest england... i prefer the liverpool area,
    	the people are friendlier...
    	and its the closest thing to a good pint of guinness away from
    	dublin.

    The Virgin Atlantic $186 r/t Boston<->London may be sold out already,
    but somebody told me they heard an ad on the radio that NorthWest was
    going to match it starting January 15th.

    RE: NorthWest Boston<->London
    
    Somebody called and this is what they found out...the tickets have to
    be purchased by January 9th.  They are good for travel beginning on
    January 17th.  You can leave any day but Saturday and have to stay over
    at least one Sunday.  You have to return to Boston by February 28th. 
    With tax, the RT fare is $214.

    You're walking on broken glass and you say _I_ know how to hurt
    someone?
