Book your travel arrangements
Book your travel arrangements
LPI participants will need to book their own travel to and from Ireland. We highly recommend that students join us for "Day 0" in Boston and then travel together to Ireland via the Aer Lingus (EI 136) non-stop flight from Boston to Dublin. If students are traveling to Ireland from another location, they will need to make sure they arrive in Dublin by the morning of Day 1 of the trek.
Because the trek ends in Doolin, which is on the west coast of Ireland, LPI will provide a bus back to the Dublin airport on the morning of the final day of the trek. If participants plan to take the bus they will need to book flights out of Dublin in the late afternoon on the final day of the trek. The bus is optional, and participants can arrange alternative travel after the trek, as appropriate.
All participants are required to provide the details of their travel arrangements.
