Their is a ferry crossing between Rosslare & Cherbourg and
Cork & Roscoff. Both ferry crossings take around 18 - 20 hrs.
I think that flights from Dublin - Paris are daily and the time
taken is about 3 hrs.

| 1183.2 | Ferry is too long... | SUBWAY::WALKER | | Mon Feb 08 1993 16:39 | 4 |
| That's longer than I thought. Do you have any idea of the cost of a
flight?
Thanks.

The cost of the flight is about �250-�300. You might get it
cheaper if your a student or book well in advance.

| 1183.4 | not a fun trip either | CTHQ::COADY | | Tue Feb 09 1993 08:43 | 13 |

I have travelled the Le Harve - > Rosslare route many years ago and it
was long; at least 18 hours. Thankfully they had a well stocked bar,
it made sea-sickness worth it. Remember that is one of the "choppiest"
routes in the area, can't remember why - NORTH SEA meeting ATLANTIC or
clashes currents or something.
Also its not much cheaper than flying; usually the ferry is good for a
family, car-load gets a good deal. I expect with a resonable cabin it
would be at least 200 punts.
I think the airfare mentioned is 2 way, I think a one way Paris
Dublin,which takes less than 2 hrs, is about 160 punts.

| There used to be a travel agency that had an office in one of our
facilities in Ireland. They could give you information on fares and
schedules. That's what I did a couple of years ago when I wanted to go
Cork->Swansea.

| 1183.7 | Try TRAVEL @GAO | CTHQ::COADY | | Wed Feb 10 1993 16:34 | 5 |
|
Actually thats true; I think you mail MACNAS::TRAVEL or TRAVEL @GAO
and get some answers to those questions.
I notice activity from GAO is down at the moment; any reasons ?

| There isn't a ferry between Cork & Pembroke. There is a route between
Cork & Swansea, takes about 10hrs. There is also a route between
Rosslare & Pembroke, takes about 4hrs.
