Cheap flights from Dublin to Burgas

The expensive stretch is high summer, when the Black Sea season peaks and the flight out of Dublin Airport is priced for holiday demand. Work back from there and the picture improves: May is the cheapest month of the year for this trip, September slides down after the peak, and October closes the calendar on a quiet note. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday ones, and the school holidays in Ireland and Bulgaria land in the same weeks and push fares up. The fare calendar for the route runs from May to October; outside that stretch the route goes quiet.

Baggage is the difference you feel between them. Ryanair, Transavia France and Eurowings sell low-cost fares with a small cabin bag included and everything larger paid; Aer Lingus, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Luxair, British Airways, BA CityFlyer and Scandinavian Airlines are the traditional carriers, and their standard fares fold a checked bag into the price. The other split is direct against connecting: a few of them fly the route nonstop, the rest stitch it together through their own hubs in Germany, Britain, France, Luxembourg and Scandinavia, which adds hours to the journey. The checked bag decides which side comes out cheaper.

Many flights into Burgas Airport land late in the day, and that changes the plan: the airport sits just outside the city, close enough for a short ride in, but the local bus thins out by evening, so the taxi rank outside arrivals becomes the way in after dark. In high summer, when several planes land close together, expect a queue there. If your trip continues along the coast past the city, sort that onward transfer before you fly, because a late landing leaves few options.

Country facts: Wikidata

• If your booking combines two airlines on separate tickets, leave a wide gap between flights, because neither carrier will rebook you when the other runs late.
• Check whether your itinerary is direct or changes at a hub, since both kinds of option are sold on this route.
• A small cabin bag is included on the low-cost fares and a checked case is not, so price the bag before you compare totals.
• Check the documents Bulgaria requires for your nationality, because entry rules are set by the destination country.
• Time the booking against the calendar: May comes in cheapest, and fares climb through the summer school holidays.
