Cheap Flights to Dublin

Q: When is the best time to fly to Dublin?

Peak Season: Dublin has quite a few peak seasons for tourists, meaning cheap flights to Dublin are readily available. Generally during the summer and school holidays tend to be very crowded and the 17th of March is St Patrick’s Day. This is the day where everyone enjoys way too much alcohol to celebrate everything Irish and everything green. The weather isn’t renowned for blistering heat or for extreme cold either so don’t expect to work up much of a tan here. July and August are the busiest months of the year so during these months and around St Patrick’s Day you’ll struggle to find cheap flights to Dublin. May, June and September have pleasant weather but a lot less tourists so you will have a better chance of finding cheap flights to Dublin for this period. Off Season: From mid-November until the middle of March, not including Christmas and New Years, you’ll find the cheapest flights to Dublin but also notice that fewer restaurants and attractions are open. You can also find cheap flights from Spring time, and most of the seasonal hotels and restaurants begin to open and don’t close until November comes along so it’s a great time of year to experience Dublin and get great deals on accommodation too.
