Have Christmas travel plans of you or your relatives and friends to or from the UK been disrupted by Holyhead Port closure or impeded by rising prices into Dublin Airport? We’d like to hear from you.
Yesterday Stena Line Ports announced that Holyhead ferry port is to remain closed until January 15th at the earliest due to damage by Storm Darragh earlier this month.
The closure of the port and the Dublin-Holyhead ferry service means that approximately 100,000 people who were planning to use the route to travel to Ireland for Christmas will now have to make alternative arrangements.

It comes as Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary, said recent hikes in the cost of travelling to Dublin from London were due to the travel cap imposed at Dublin Airport, and not the closure of the Holyhead ferry service.
On the Ryanair and Aer Lingus websites on Tuesday the lowest prices for December 24th flights from London to Dublin were €138 and €96 respectively. For December 22nd the lowest prices were €104 and €267.
