iainmac Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Booked flights from Edinburgh just now with EasyJet ?313 return for me and a mate - looks like that dynamic pricing is kicking in! Flying out 7.10 on the Friday and back on Sunday afternoon. Can anyone recommend any decent places to stay for the two nights? Never been to Belfast before so looking for some advice :-) Holiday Inn has now relocated from Ormeau Avenue to just opposite Sandy Row. We're booked into the Ramada Encore in Cathedral Quarter. In my opinion, Belfast is one of the friendliest cities in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Apprentice Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hotel prices are going the same way as flights best be quick. Yeah managed to get booked into the Jury's Inn.

Managed to do it all for ?130 the other day but the prices of flights went from being around ?70 to ?140 from Edinburgh in a matter of about half an hour. Wouldn't fancy booking flights now.

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Airlines/hotels are not stupid! They know when demand will increase. And of course a lot of people will be flying in to NI for Orange parades at the time in July (And a lot of people flying out for the same reason.)

cocobeab Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Am I right, does it sound like they might add a game prior to the 8th possibly in Dublin? Club statement reads that way, anyone ITK? Might make arrangements for a week going between Dublin and Belfast in hope we could take in two games UPDATE - please ignore, I've now read the OP's E News link and see that was always the plan.

nijambo Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Looking forward to seeing the JT's hopefully tear Linfield a new one at the new 'National Stadium at Windsor Park'. Was at the N.I. game last night (to see Liam Boyce score a fine first goal for us) and the ground is a major improvement on what was there before. 3 New stands and the other refurbished. Tynie size now in terms of capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I was waiting for news on the game in Dublin before booking but got fed up waiting. For those considering a Ryanair flight Edinburgh to Dublin, there were some available at ?22 single. It is then 17.99 Euros from Dublin to Belfast by train. By the time I started looking again (over weekend) the flights from Edinburgh to Belfast City return were going crazy, over ?200. And if looknig to fly in/out the same day the flight back to Edinburgh was via Manchester. Then had a look at flying same day in/out from Glasgow and it was ?80 return. But I don't drive and the flight out of Glasgow takes off before the first train from Edinburgh to Glasgow reaches its destination. I was considering just forgetting about it, then when the two league cup games came up today and were both midweek fixtures I realised I wouldn't be able to get time off work for them, so got involved in conversation with friends and it looks like Belfast is back on, by boat (?60 return) (might even get a couple of flute bands on the boat who can provide free entertainment) with cheap digs in Belfast on the Saturday night.

sprinbox98 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 There is always quite a few jambs across in norn iron when I have been in the past. Some are scots who have relocated across there, others are irish guys who have an affiliation with hearts through their family. Most are really decent....on the other hand some are total welts who unfortunately would make the sevco supports look like a bunch of unbiggoted, normal fans!

I used to get acomadation for a lot of the guys up to 15 at a time as I said before real good guys. No mate, went to QMC in Clerwood in the mid 90's and starting going home and away for 7 years until moving away. Used to travel on Rainbow Hearts bus to away games. Still come over every year on my birthday and had my stag weekend 7 years ago so I could take in the derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
