Check out an excellent fare to Cork! Prices may slightly differ based on your flight route.

The $731 ticket includes advance seat assignments, a regular-sized carry-on, and one checked bag.

Alternatively, Delta / Air France / KLM Royal Dutch is offering a Basic Economy fare at $531, but be mindful of its restrictions. Here are key points about the Delta / Air France / KLM Royal Dutch International Basic Economy fare:

• Advance seat assignments are not permitted.
• Checked bags are extra – $75 for the first and $100 for the second.
• Changes to the reservation are not allowed.
• Cancellations are also not permitted – cancellations after the 24-hour risk-free period will render the Basic Economy ticket worthless for future travel.
• Earn no mileage for these fares.
• Many online travel agencies don’t distinctly display Air France/KLM Royal Dutch Basic Economy or Economy Light fares.
