travelling to ireland, ferry or flying? any advice please
might have to go to ireland (tipperary/cork area) through work for a pointless trip there, meet someone, turn around and come home
, want it done and dusted in the same day and trying to see what the best travelling option is.
has anyone any advice on this? maybe do something similar for work?
flying seems the best option for flexibilty of times/airport closer to home than a ferry port, but then i've got to sort a hire car, no biggie but something else to factor in.
any sites you guys can recomend? prices from skyscanner.net seem pretty cheap for the flights, but is there a site that will do parking at airport,flight fare and hire car all in or a combination of flight+hire car?
any advice appreciated.

Done both ferry and Flying and I would never go by Ferry again, You can fly from Luton/Stanstead, you could probably do Luton to Shannon in 50 minutes, and if you book early enough you can get a great price, try Ryanair.com for flights.

might have been an option with taking some work bits, but that's looking unlikely now.

Either way, definitely the quickest and (more than likely) cheapest way to do a one day return.
