If I can afford it, I'm there. That's a big if at the moment though.

Same for me, if I did go it would probably be something along the lines of arrive on the earliest flight and leave on the last flight and get some £20 a night place. :b

Don't think I'll know about my monetary situation til January. Hope registration isn't closed by then...

Shame. I was hoping to make it to this one but the flight to Knock Airport will cost me around €1300, which is a bit above my budget. I might try and see if flying to Dublin and then take the train to Tuam might be a viable option. Or if I'm really brave, I might even drive.

1300 or 130?
The train from Dublin to Tuam costs around 25 euro and 3 hours for a single trip if I remember correctly.

€1300 (one thousand three hundred) for a flight from Amsterdam to Knock.
Of course, if someone from the Netherlands, Belgium or UK with a license is willing to travel with me and share the petrol costs with me, I could be tempted into driving there.
No, I think he really meant 1300€
I was also considering coming, but flights from Brussels to Knock are over a 1000€ as well. (I'm sad, the flights from Brussels to Dublin are quite cheap, but then flying to Dublin + arranging a train + there don't seem to be any cheap accommodation in Knock = I don't think I'll be joining => next time, make it in Dublin

From Paris there are cheaper ones (but still a bit expensive though, at least 280 euro). Flying to DUblin is definitely a better option.
I'm considering coming, but it's far from certain that I will be available on that WE...

Flight over 500 euro most likely is because they don't have direct flight and the system stupidly generates a flight to US or somewhere and fly back...
If some of you are arriving in Dublin on Friday we can take a train together to Tuam in the evening. It only takes 2.3 euro from airport to city centre and 30 minutes' work from city centre to the train station.

Sorry, I don't think I'm going to make it this time. If it's in Dublin next time, there's a really good chance I can make it.

Not even... I checked all flights from Paris, all of them have a connection in the UK (either London or Manchester), a few have a second one in either Brussels or Amsterdam but nothing ridiculous like the US. Only the price of most of them is absurdly high.

That's indeed weird. I don't know the price from Paris to London, but taking a Ryanair from London to Ireland is only 10-50 euro at most time
I checked again out of curiosity : the cheapest flight I could find from Belgium is 972 euros and goes from Brussels to Dublin, from Dublin to London, from London to Knock... and whole thing takes over a day xD
It just looks like the flights from the continent are mostly expensive/taking stupid routes
Cheapest I found was from Eindhoven for about 160€ (atm) ...the journey is rather long though, 10 hours on the way back for example ^^

Another option would be to fly with Ryanair from Eindhoven - London Stansted and then from London Stansted to Knock. That's about €100 for the whole trip. The problem is that for both legs, the connecting flight leaves before the first flight arrives, so you'll need to do it over 2 days.

Is there an entry fee? I assume so, but the website doesn't mention one
