Right got it down to 2 different routes...I think!!

Route 1.
Outward
Depart Dub 08.40, arrive Atlanta 12.55 (layover 1hr 50)

Depart Atlanta 14.45, arrive San Fran 17.03 Flights by Delta

I've gone out through Atlanta with a similar timetable before. We flew from Shannon to Atlanta to Chicago, with Delta. We were lucky enough to go through immigration in Shannon, but our flight left 2 hours late, and we had a 2 hour layover in Atlanta. Needless to say, we arrived in Atlanta and missed our connection.

Delta then put us on standby for the sole flight left to Chicago that evening with them. Here, you will be put waiting outside the gate, and if seats are available (normally by people not turning up) you will be put on the flight. We did get on the later flight but we had been told if we werent, they would put us up in a nearby hotel and guarntee us places on a flight the following morning. If your itenary is with delta the whole way from start to finish, they will look after you I reckon if you miss your connection. But you need to be prepared to put up with the hassle, you could end up having to spend alot of time in the airport.

If I was you, I would go with your Route 2. Did you check out flying through London though, generally much cheaper.

Wow, what a bad match. One of the worst i've been at ever. Mayo were more pathetic than Longford and good riddance to Johonno. Major redo of the whole mayo team needed.

Thanks for the compliments.

Sorry about the above, no offence to Longford intended! Just sickened after a horrible day! Best of luck to ye in the rest of the championship lads! Ye done us a favour in the longrun Longfordians, and for that I am grateful!

Well he can concentrate on that from now on, but who comes in next?

Mickey Moran

Highly doubt he'll be back, after how he was kicked out after bringing Mayo to the all ireland final. The who will replace Johonno issue is for another day I think. God knows longford done us a favor today. Good riddance to Johonno.

I welcome our Mayo friends across the Shannon for our first championship meeting.

Let's hope it's a sunny warm evening and let's look forward to good football and good craic.

Yes! Isn't that what it's all about!! Looking forward to it!

Looks like the game will be played in Longford. I reckon this should be a good game on the back of Sligo and Cork to get a little bit of confidence going in the side again and mabye even a run going in the qualifiers. If we cant beat Longford then we have lost a seriously big amount of ground in 2 games! I certainly cant see Mayo playing as badly again as they have!

Road to Sam here we go!! 

By the sounds of things Mayo will be travelling to Longford. Reckon it is a good draw for Mayo to mabye build a bit of confidence to the side, and who knows, even get a run going in the qualifiers!! If we can't beat Longford, then we've seriously fallen behind over the last 2 games!

They could be the first victims on the long road to the third sunday in September. 

Redgreenery - I found it hard to take your post seriously after you mentioned Conor Mort as captain.
Yes we were beaten by a good team but a shite team would have also beaten us by the sounds of it.
JOM and the way things have gone has drained the confidence out of Mayo supporters like never before.
Few wins against Carlow and Longford will only paper over the deep caverns at this stage, gone well beyond cracks. It's all well and good backing the team, which we all obviously will forever but you can't just bury your head in the sand and fail to acknowledge the current situation.

In fairness to Sligo, they are a fine team and have been building nicely. But Sligo supporters will need to take stock of what they beat on Sunday. In the words of Joe Brollox...."sure everyone beats Mayo"

O dont get me wrong I think a change in management is badly needed, especially if we do lose to a bad team in the qualifiers, completely agree with that! What gets to me is that the season is not over, yet all the folk are talking as if it is!! We are still in the championship!
And yes the dissappointments of late have gotten to me too and I can see why the support at the games has been down as of late! I just think the lack of support is a cause for the lack of motivation on the field we have seen on the last 2 day's out!

Well done Sligo, best I've seen Sligo play I have to say, they are turning out quite a good side and I would not be surprised to still see them in the championship come semi-final time!
Sligo beat a very clueless Mayo side and the lack of leadership in the team was very evident! Mabye we need a new captain, Trevor has played better than he is these days, and the captaincy may be a burden to hold for him, I think Andy Moran or even (I'll be shot for this) C Mort, he's a charismatic guy who loves to be seen and heard would be worth a go for captaincy!! I was very disappointed with the performance yesterday, but not surprised with the result. Alot of people didnt seem to rate Sligo much against us. But they were hungrier and more tactically alert than we were.

As with moysider I was also disappointed with the lack of Mayo support at the game, when Freeman scored the goal the place was silent but for the odd cheer. I can understand from that point of view why there seemed to be a lack of motivation with the team, looking around them having to squint their eyes to see a Mayo jersey (and it wasnt the biggest venue) and the same goes for the League final (Looking around an empty stadium with no green and red!)

I'm sick of hearing all of this negativity of fans who have given up the ghost altogether!! We are NOT out of the championship, we WERE beaten by a GOOD team! Teams in the qualifiers do not want to meet us lads! Honest to god back in Janurary I was sure Mayo would be relegated, and sure ye all know where we got to in the league!
To the championship, is it not all about just going out on the Saturday and Sunday to support your team be they playing good or bad, look at the Rossies, the team is playing rubbish, and yet their supporters are out in their tousands any given sunday!!! I am sure the negativity from the Mayo fans does move into the dressing room lads! Yes we have had more than our fair share of dissapointment, but give it up will ye, the season 2010 aint over, Mayo are still in it, leave all the ridiculeing UNTIL we are knocked out, which honestly I dont think will be for a while yet!

I'm looking forward to these qualifier's, it's a new experience and hopefully we'll progress far in them! A dose of championship games might be just what Mayo needs, if we keep on winning, it might bring a biteen of confidence to the team, and hey, mabye a couple more supporters might get back behind the team!

Looking forward to getting a rematch with Sligo in the Semi Final above in Croker!! 

Where have you been Redgreenery?!

I've been around, but busy with school work lately and stuff!! Been keeping an eye on this every now and then though, from a safe distance!!  Miss me much then?!

They have beaten the All ireland Champions, they have now beaten the team which hammerd Tyrone........who can stop the Dubs this year.............?

Mayo.

From Mayo

Once Mayo is out of whatever competition would like to see Sligo, Galway, Leitrim, Tyrone, Kildare and Laois progress, especially the connaught counties mentioned!

Like to see Kerry getting bet and the rossies (local rivalry), whoevers playing them!

Welcome back Redgreenery I thought you were dead

Ah thanks Laoislad! Did ya miss me?! Had to come back what with Mayo back in Croker and all! 

Have you worked out the difference between AC and Inter Milan yet 

:DJaysus I remember that one!! Laoislad, these days theres probably not much of a difference between them! I do know the difference now though! Inter have the chosen one, AC used to have Kaka!!

God its been a while Laoislad!

Welcome back Redgreenery I thought you were dead

Ah thanks Laoislad! Did ya miss me?! Had to come back what with Mayo back in Croker and all! 

Im in (again)! Had to replace Alonso though with Fellaini!
Looking forward to this!

replacing a transferred player with an injured one. You wont be first in line to replace sir alaex when he finally leaves !

Fellaini's injured, never heard anything about it since I came back! Thanks for the heads up, and by the way, damn right I wont be first in line to replace Sir Alex, I want the big money job at Real Madrid or Man City!!
