We're trying to decide the best way to get from London to Dublin. Just heard about Sail/Rail. Any recommendations?

Agree, "best" way is to fly. The time you save can be time spent exploring either city. Fly.

You might wish to take a look at what I say about some of the places en-route in another post - should you decide to take the train from London (Euston) to Holyhead for the Dublin ferry.

www.skyscanner.net will show you the flights. (Beware of baggage in hold charges).

The Sail/Rail discounted combo ticket can bring train/ferry fares down to be competitive with airlines, but are not necessarily cheaper and the trip still takes 7 - 8 hours.
