Fanatics ... this is a huge undertaking but we have some opportunities for a direct flight between Des Moines and Dublin. Would be a shorter trip for those with work, kids and school. Please fill this out honestly. We do not want to jump into something that we cannot fulfill. Please feel free to respond with reasonable comments too if you have suggestions, etc.

I can't go, but others might wonder if tickets to the game would be a part of the package?

I'll ask my wife tonight. The issue is the baby.

Is anybody going to be mad with a 16-month in tow on a redeye?

But Des Moines straight to Dublin is a heck of a lot easier than stopping in Chicago or something...

Love the idea of a direct flight and would definitely pay more for it but the short turnaround is a dealbreaker for our group of 6 going. Spending the $ and time to get over there is considerable so we want to make it at least a week trip, maybe 8-10 days.

Red eyes are actually easier with the littles. Although 16 months can be tough regardless of time of day/night.

This is where we're at, gotta be at least 8-10 days, kids' first day or two of school be damned. That & I likely wouldn't be able to afford this one. I agree it's worth more being able to fly direct to/from DSM, but don't think I'd pay 2x+ what other options are.

This sounds like a blast but it’s inevitably going to be too rich for my blood.

I'd be super interested at the right price point, but I suspect that's not really possible. I filled out the survey anyway.
I'm in the same boat. The current packages are a bit steep for us to make the leap. Especially with a kid that will be one at the time.

If this happens I'd have to guess this would be the longest commercial flight to ever depart DSM which would be pretty cool.

Rough cost per person?

I would be interested to know approximately how may Iowa State commit, and go.

We are the best! Cyclone fans, and don't you forget it.
