My sister is coming home from the states for xmas new year. She has to go to the in laws for xmas day (american husband) she is bringing her 1 year old daughter also first time for a long haul flight. Can anyone recommend a site to book the tickets details are:

She needs to get from Pittsburgh to either Belfast or Dublin 27th December returning from Belfast or Dublin 6th Jan - Minneapolis


We have checked out a few which will leave her stranded in Amsterdam for a day.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Have a look on Opodo, if Ive put everything in correctly then she will fly via Chicago (there for about 2 hours) and then into Dublin for about £350

Sorry just had to edit £350 plus taxes making it £420?

Chicago is the second busiest international airport in the world! Add that to the potential delays during their depths of winter and I certainly wouldn't plan such a short connection time to get home for Christmas!

I agree that Chicago & Christmas time ain't the best time but to get the best prices they are going to have to go from there

Anyhow AA to Dublin via Chicago with 3 hours in Chicago is £360 return including taxes via Expedia, though for £25 more per person you could get an earlier US Airways flight to give you more time at Chicago

Alternatively Continental to Dublin via Newark with 4 hours in Newark is £420 return

In both cases I'd look at the airline websites to see if they can better those prices
