Travel Coordinator Services

Here is how this works in practice. Our Irish travel-coordinator roster covers air-and-rail-and-hotel booking that supported the Vikings six-season Wicklow base (the regular Dublin Airport DUB inbound for global cast plus the Iarnród Éireann Dublin-Wicklow commuter planning), Game of Thrones across Titanic Studios Belfast (the BFS Belfast Global and LDY Derry airport inbound plus the cross-border Dublin-Belfast 2h rail and the Translink Northern Ireland network), Foundation across Troy Studios Limerick (the SNN Shannon and DUB Dublin Airport rotation). Penny Dreadful and The Tudors at Ardmore Studios Bray.

Here is the short of it. The Star Wars Skellig Michael cast helicopter charter, Saving Private Ryan Curracloe Wexford cast-and-crew hotel-block reservations. Plus the recent Banshees of Inisherin (2023 many Oscar acting noms) Achill Island and Inishmore hotel-and-cottage booking, Belfast (2021 seven Oscar nominations) cross-border Belfast unit, Normal People HBO Sligo-and-Trinity hotel-block, The Wonder Famine-era West-of-Ireland unit, and the An Cailín Ciúin Gaeltacht cast-and-crew lodging. Carrier relationships — Aer Lingus (the Irish flag carrier with Dublin-North America and Dublin-Europe network). Ryanair (the Dublin-headquartered low-cost carrier). KLM Royal Dutch via Amsterdam Schiphol hub, British Airways via Heathrow, plus Lufthansa via Frankfurt.

Here is the breakdown. Hotel-block planning via the senior Irish hospitality houses. Adare Manor Limerick (the Forbes Five-Star JP McManus 2022 Pro-Am host). Ashford Castle Mayo (the 13th-century Cong lakeside castle hotel), The Shelbourne Dublin (the historic St. Stephen's Green hotel), The Merrion Dublin, the Hyatt Centric Cork, Powerscourt Hotel Wicklow, Park Hotel Kenmare. Sheen Falls Lodge Kerry. Galgorm Resort Antrim, Lough Eske Castle Donegal. Plus the Killarney Park Hotel and Muckross Park Hotel. Per-diem-and-mileage distribution per the SIPTU union and Screen Producers Ireland (SPI) industry-collective-agreement standard.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Visa-and-work-permit planning via the Department of Justice immigration desks plus the Critical Skills Employment Permit (CSEP) and General Employment Permit (GEP) pathways for non-EU cast-and-crew. Section 481 32% tax credit qualifies travel-and-lodging spend through Irish-resident vendors plus the 40% regional uplift. EUR Eurozone with GBP NI dual-currency, VAT 23% Ireland / 20% UK NI recovery, plus CTA-borderless cross-border UK travel.
