One parent told The Irish Times her son paid about €340 for a sequence of connecting flights at the end of June, booked in April
. Ferry tickets and connections cost €130, while a week’s worth of good quality, central accommodation based on sharing a room with two friends cost €380, bringing the total bill to about €850 before taking spending money into account. On arrival at least, alcohol appeared expensive at about €7 a pint.
However, would-be customers are advised of the potential difficulties in synchronising flights and ferries and, in the case of the latter, there is often a limited number each day and they can be booked out in peak season. However, she added, there have never been so many flights to Greek airports as today and young people “are so used to travelling it doesn’t phase them” to hop on planes and boats.The foreign post-exam holiday has by now become a firm rite of passage for Leaving Cert students after months of study. Ms Slattery noted the preferred destinations come in cycles, with trends set by differing groups of teenagers each year.
