Try booking.com

Not sure how many people are intending to stay on the Sunday night so you may get a hotel for a reasonable price.

Booked Ryanair, out Sat AM, back Sun PM - Staying in Travel Lodge. A little bit of advice, under no circumstances should people book the Redcar Hotel. The biggest kip of a hotel I've ever stayed in.

Looking to book this. What are the chances of making the 17.00 flight from Bristol to Dublin on Sunday?

My thinking is 12:45 kick off so out of the ground by 14.45 and on the OLSC bus to Bristol.

Saturday night will be for the pubs. As a long time Westmeath GAA supporter I've learned the benefit of doing the celebrating before the game.

Bath city website says airport is a 40 minute drive from Bath so in theory there shouldn't be a problem getting to the airport but in theory communism works....


Stop procrastinating soon!

I made the mistake of booking Aer Lingus first, Ryanair went up €100 in the meantime.

If you do want to stay in Bristol, can recommend a new IBIS that is right next to Bristol Temple Meads (so stumbling distance if you are getting the last train back from Bath). Trains go reasonably late and are about 20 mins.

Stayed there the Thursday night before the HC final after getting a cheap late evening flight to Bristol.

There is also the Express by Holiday Inn across the road from the station but it can be pricey http://www.hiexpress.com/hotels/us/en/b ... oteldetail
