Ireland at $609 RT

It's been agggeeesssss since we last spotted cheap flights to the Emerald Isles, eh?!

But let’s be honest—is squeezing through the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds at Temple Bar the craic you had in mind? Didn't think so. Why not ditch Dublin for a good old-fashioned road trip through the castle-encrusted Irish countryside instead?

First up: hiking along the wild, sea-sprayed coastlines. Fair warning, a few paths near the Cliffs of Moher are currently off-limits for restoration, but there are still plenty of shorter trails and viewpoints worth the trek. And if you really want to feel Ireland in your bones, you’ll need to wander off the beaten path anyway.

And of course, no trip is complete without drying off by a peat fire, pint in hand, live music in the air, and a packet of Smiths bacon fries within reach.

No four leaf clovers required :-)
