Are flights and transfers included?
No, travel to Turkey and Bonjuk Bay is the responsibility of attendees. Join the Irish WhatsApp group for travel tips and coordination.
Ryanair has direct flights (4hrs 35 mins) between Dublin (DUB) to Dalaman (DLM) airport on Mondays, so most attendees are advised to book from October 5th-12th. At the time of writing (July 23rd), a return ticket averages €277.
A few of us have booked a room in a hotel here near the airport on October 5th (as we arrive late) and are staying an extra night at Bonjuk Bay both before and after the festival.
