Wow, 5 days in Dublin for 2 for under $1200. And without using frequent flier miles or flying in the dead of winter. Color us impressed.

How'd the intrepid writer for the AP do it? Well, first she chose a destination based on the best airline ticket price she could find, being sure to take taxes into account. Second, she ruled out B&Bs and hotels, instead couchsurfing with a nice Irish family. There are other good tips, of course, particularly this one about better living through chemistry: "If your time on the ground is limited, making the most of it means minimizing jet lag. . . . consider getting a prescription for something that will knock you out on the trip over. Some passengers find a Benadryl or other over-the-counter antihistamine is enough." Bring on the Ambien!
