Voice of Travelers to Ireland

Ireland really is the Emerald Isle

I had always heard people call Ireland the Emerald Isle, but until I bought a ticket to visit Ireland, I had no idea how lush, green and beautiful Ireland truly was. I set Ireland as one of my top ticket destinations for visiting on my European tour after college. I had saved up the ticket price for years in college, so it was really exciting to finally go on my trip to Ireland and the rest of Europe. I flew over on a cheap Ryanair ticket from New York. Ryanair was one of the first airlines to offer cheap tickets across the Atlantic, so they have gotten excellent at providing barebones but quality service for a low ticket price. I arrived in Ireland after sleeping on the plane, so I had a lot of energy and was excited to start my tour of Ireland. I bought a number of guided tour tickets for all over Ireland, including cultural and historical sites, some dating back to the early prehistory of Ireland.

Visiting my family in Ireland

I had always been very proud of my Irish heritage living in Boston, so I was very excited when my family bought me a ticket to go and visit them in Ireland. I love all Irish culture, so the thought of being able to experience real Irish culture with a ticket to Ireland was amazing. They bought me a Delta Airlines ticket that flew directly from Boston to Ireland. The flight was long, but the crew did their best to make sure that I was comfortable. It was my first time flying, so I was really appreciative of how safe and comfortable the staff made me feel. When I landed I bought a bus ticket from the airport to the small town in Ireland where my family lived. They were all so happy to meet me, and we spent a lot of time driving around Ireland exploring all the sites.

Ireland is an amazing place to visit

My husband bought us two first class tickets to Ireland to celebrate our honeymoon. Both of our families are originally from Ireland, so visiting Ireland was really important for both of us. My husband bought first class tickets from London on British Airways. It is a short flight from London to Ireland, so we enjoyed a nice lunch and a short film to pass the time. The service we received through out first class tickets to Ireland was excellent. Once we arrived in Ireland, we went around to a lot of the places where we had family and spent most of our time visiting them and getting to know everyone. Our honeymoon in Ireland was the ticket to a happy marriage that is still going strong today!
