Trip exceeded expectations!

This is the second Ireland fly and drive trip I have done through Aer Lingus. The only issue I have with this company is trying to reach them on the phone to ask questions or change something about the reservations. HIRE MORE PEOPLE TO ANSWER THE PHONE...waited 30 minutes plus on several occasions. The vacation itself was a great value and everything went smoothly regarding rental car, vouchers, location of hotel in Dublin. Love the fly and drive type of vacation option. We are already planning our next trip. Love Ireland and the vacation options from the Vacation Store.

We had a great experience, and only ran into a couple of issues. We had problems with our GPS that we rented, but managed to get a refund on that since it didn't work during our trip. The last hotel we stayed at was not very nice, the rooms were not clean, people smoked in the rooms, the location was not so good, the food and service was bad, and we had to pay for parking. Other than that, the trip was excellent. The remainder of our hotels were really good, the rental car was very acceptable and the service from the rental car people was excellent. The itinerary was great – we managed to see a lot in our 10 days. Our flights went off without a hitch, I would recommend that Aer Lingus work on the cushions in their seating however. They are some of the hardest seats I've sat on in the variety of airlines I have traveled. The best part of the whole trip was being in Ireland - the people and places are amazing. This was my fourth trip to Ireland, and hopefully not my last!

Everything was arranged and had no worries. From flight, rental car, and hotels. No issues whatsoever. Great vacation experience and an awesome price!!

Seamless experience. All fell into place wonderfully; the flight, lodging. Not quite satisfied with Dooley Car Rental service. Upon pick up of the vehicle, the rental assistant was not at all helpful, with directions, instructions, car choices. No map was offered, no print out of directions to the first night's lodging. In fact, her directions to that lodging, when asked, were wrong. I was given a standard, as requested. I was not told it was a diesel. I was not oriented with the vehicle and its features. Not a good way to start a trip!

We booked a fly and drive vacation, with Bed and Breakfast vouchers. The ease of checking in at the airport was a pleasant surprise in this age of increasing difficulty enjoying flying. The flight was very nice, although, lets admit, you can't get a good meal on an airplane, but they tried valiantly. It was nice to have a good choice of movies for the long flight. We were able to book all of our B&b's ahead of the trip, which made everything go smoothly.

One recommendation - When picking up the car at Dan Dooley rental we asked for directions to the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel - which were incorrect and what should have taken 1 hour took almost 3. It would be helpful, since you have many customers with the same itinerary to have directions with the car rental pick up. Thank you.

The only thing about the trip which was a negative was our room at the Mercure Prince Hotel was quite small for a double.
