The Aer Lingus fares are too expensive on Cork- CDG for at least the last two years. Now, I know ryan2000 made mention of it on this or the EI thread but some of my own relations have been comparing the EI fares from Cork to CDG and the FR fares from 'Th'Other Place' to BVA for April and May and the difference is just away too much. The EI fares from Cork to Paris are just far too high for folk with more modest budgets. It is not anything like business class seats my relations are looking for either for that matter.
