Hi

There are plenty of people here who are particularly good at spotting bargain fares so they may have more elaborate solutions for you. My suggestion is just to book a one way ticket into Dublin. Aer Lingus and AA fly direct, and Aer Lingus fares if booked early and off peak through their website can be very good value. Normally, I'd perfer a bargain cash fare rather than buring miles. They also have very cheap deals from Dublin to other European cities, so it might suit her to do her exploring and then fly home again from Dublin.

hope some of that helps

I have enough mileage in either AA or Mileage Plus.

I'm curious about ticketing that will allow the most flexibility for the least cost. I hope she will have the option/inclination to venture further abroad after her study is done, possibly flying home from that location.

So, the return date from the unknown location would, best case, be able to be determined at a future date. Do such tickets exist? Do either of my airline program offer them?

Many thanks for the free advice. Can you tell I never got to have this experience am living vicariously through her?
