Good people = great party. As some of the friendliest places in the world, Ireland and Scotland welcome you to the celebration with open arms (if countries had arms) and full beers.

Admit it, booking flights is the worst. Here's why you should let us do it for you:

* Flight costs are included in your monthly payment plan, so you can pay over time

Get ready to ramble through rugged, rolling hills in this New Year's immersion of Ireland. Johnny Cash wasn’t kidding when he sang about its 40 shades of green. From the Cliffs of Moher and lush green fields of the countryside, to massive urban parks, the Emerald Isle takes beautiful scenery to the next level. But there’s more to Ireland than being really, really, ridiculously good looking.
