Anyone going to NAC this May?

Is there anybody going over to Naples Air Centre this May, if so are you managing to get any cheap flights, as they seem to have got quite expensive this year, £505 is the cheapest I have had so far.

Aer Lingus have some great deals for flights from Dublin to Orlando (MCO). You can get some cheap deals from the most UK airports into Dublin to catch the afternoon flight to Orlando. Plus you clear US immigration in Dublin. Naples is about 3 hours drive from Orlando via I-75 \ I-4.

It's a lovely area to spend some time and the facilities at NAC are quite good.

Taken from the Dublin Airport website

Dublin Airport introduced its pre-clearance facility for transatlantic flights in association with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in March 1994. You can now have all of your passport and visa documentation cleared before boarding your flight at Dublin, thus saving up to two hours valuable time on arrival in the U.S. One simple step over the immigration line at the boarding gate and you have already arrived in the United States!

Also applies to flights departing Shannon. When you arrive in the USA it's like stepping of a domestic flight, can save you an hour or so on arrival.

I just checked out their flights, and they are really cheap (£300 return) but unfortionatly they only fly over there 3 times a week, and I cant fly on those days

Thanks anyway.
