'Emerald Castle Package'
What's the deal?: With "Leap Year," in theaters, here's a deal you can jump on. With the Aer Lingus Vacation Store's six-night "Emerald Castle Package," you get round-trip airfare and a full week's car rental to explore the Emerald Isle. For lodging, you get a night at Dublin's Croke Park Hotel, three at your choice of bed-and-breakfasts, one at Ireland's renowned 13th-century Ashford Castle and a final night in Dublin. All for $599, including round-trip airfare on Aer Lingus, and all accommodations, including a night at Ashford Castle, car rental with unlimited mileage and a full Irish breakfast most mornings.
What's the savings?: About the cost of the airfare. Most of the castle vacations start at $575 for land-only packages.
What's the catch?: The price, which doesn't include airline taxes and service charges, is based on departure from New York; departing from other cities costs more. The offer is available through March 10 (or through Oct. 31 at higher prices).
