Essexlad what do you pay going from Dublin and what time of year do you go
Sorry late reply .
I'm using Emirates again my 3rd time with them . I missed out on the Emirates sale in July but after the sale they added on a flight that suited my needs so now I can have a longer 2 1/2 hours at Dubai
return back . I like having the 2 and 1/2 hours stop over just incase my flight is delayed for 1 hour or gives you plenty of time to find your gate as my first trip was a hour delay then the plane went into another terminal so the time i got on the rail train to the other one so no worries plus Dubai is a great airport .
As I'm flying from Dublin there no direct flight so I'm facing a 1 stopover or 2 on other airlines . I remember my prices I've paid for all 3 . July 2013 ( 15 days ) was €750 the New year 2014 was €1003 (23 days) .
And this one was €885 for 26 days . The prices cheaper if you travel midweek .
And I'm only using Emirates this time as after this trip I qualify for Silver membership so I get fast track and Emirates Lounge also on the list for free upgrade . The one thing I regret now as while booking online they did ask me for extra €200 and I could fly business class one way but at the time thought I did not have enough now after a month I had a spare bit of money about so now kicking myself .
Etihad has got a big sale now 96 hours one which seem to be great prices .
I went June/July 2013 pretty much 15 days the weather was good . Its was kinda busy but there was a few nights I walk into a bar and was the only one there so I had pretty much all the staff asking for drinks and tips lol .
December-January the weather was alright and the nights was bit more cooler like 22c so I understand why so many travel there at that time of year . I would say most bars are very busy and Walking street was quite fun . I had the thai gf at the time but there was a few that caught my eyes especially few bars that don't get mention so much on Pattaya sites .
I'm going middle of March so it's pretty much near the end of high season. Like high season is now november to end of April then May-Oct low season ( thais do say May-June is mid season due to the weather) . I wanted to go May but my contract at work runs out at that time so i had to book earlier to get my 4 weeks holiday pay.
So my first time in March and with Bangkok my starting off point . Looking at all the gogos and bars my tongue hanging out as there so many good lookings girls there. I do aim to try 1 or 2 pornstars then find a GFE to tour the city with me for a day or two .
