Info for Europeans flying to Lollapalooza

Heineken Helen

I've been checking flights today and a return from Dublin to Chicago would be 762euro. However I'm not sure what way I'll be flying OVER as I've 10 days to play around with but I know I have to come home on the Monday so I just checked how much the return flight would cost as a one way flight just out of interest... 277, cheaper than as one leg of a return flight with the same airline.

Cos I was thinking of maybe flying INTO NY and spending a few days there before heading to Chicago. Doing this would actually save me almost 200euro as it works out at 575euro :cool:

Good to know, eh?

you still have to pay to stay in NY and then transport from NY to Chicago though - definitely would cost more than the €200 you're "saving"! The price of going to Chicago would cost the same as my whole Euro tour... just don't think its worth it.

And yeah, flights can be strange! I remember the flight from Munich to Poland was less than half price if ye booked a return instead of siingle flight! Strange!

Ah yeh, I know but if somebody would rather use the money to take in two cities instead of one it makes more sense. Cos I was trying to decide which to do... also the price of a one way TO chicago is the same as it would cost as one leg of the return flight... so to book two one way flights is cheaper than booking the return flight

I was going to spend the same amount of time wherever it is anyway and it looks like accommodation would be cheaper in NY than Chicago and transport wouldn't be too much.

Hey - that's a festival for me!!!!!! When its 200 degrees and you're swallowing other people's sweat you might think - "hey, I wish I was with that chick whose got the air-conditioned bathrooms." Not to mention I am recovering from a hip replacement and can't afford to get knocked around in a big crowd.
AND do the math- 3 days of music, all the beer, wine & water you want, 2 meals a day and side stage seating for $850 bucks a piece - I paid almost 1/2 that for my amazing seat in Honolulu.

But for 850 you can have a last minute for 10 days mexico with all-inclusive.
