The stops in Dublin are short: 2h30 on the way out and 2h50 on the way back. You leave Malaga at 12:00 and land in Boston at about 19:00 the same day. In Dublin you clear US immigration before boarding, so you land in Boston as a domestic passenger. The 04/03 - 17/03 trip includes the South Boston St Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday 14 March. The fare includes a 10 kg cabin bag but no checked bag.
💰 How far does your money go?
A caña in Malaga costs about €2.50 and a menú del día about €13. Boston is not cheap: a pint costs about €8 and a lobster roll about €30. But a lot of the best things are free. The Freedom Trail, Harvard Yard and the Boston Public Library cost nothing, and a ride on the T, the oldest subway in America, costs about €2.
☀️ The Weather
February and March are still winter in Boston. Expect cold days of 3°C to 7°C, nights below freezing and a chance of snow. By mid April, days reach around 14°C and the magnolias come out along Commonwealth Avenue.
