Cheap Flights from Dublin to Dresden

November prices lowest on this route, so it is the first month to check when your dates are flexible. The fare calendar runs from autumn through the winter holidays and spring into the early summer, which lets you weigh the whole stretch side by side. December pulls visitors to Dresden for its Christmas markets, so if the markets are the point of the trip, book early instead of waiting for a drop. Shifting your departure by a day or two can change the fare, because on a connecting itinerary the total depends on both flights.

The balance on this route tips toward full-service: Lufthansa and its City Airlines arm, Swiss, Helvetic Airways, Edelweiss Air, Aer Lingus and Aegean Airlines fly it alongside the low-cost trio of Eurowings, Sun Express and Air Baltic. With no direct flights, every itinerary involves a change of plane, and the stop is set by the carrier you pick, because each one connects through its own hub. What is included differs too: the full-service fares generally carry a cabin bag and a checked allowance, while Eurowings, Sun Express and Air Baltic sell baggage as an extra, so price the bag into the total before you choose.

You land at Dresden Airport, the single airport serving the city, which sits just outside the built-up area with the centre a short rail trip away. A local train link runs from the terminal into town and taxis queue outside arrivals, so the onward journey stays simple at most hours. The terminal is compact, which keeps arrival quick, though it is worth checking how late the trains run when your connection puts you down in the evening.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Dublin and Dresden each have one airport, so the real choice is the connection: check which hub your itinerary uses and how long the layover runs.
• Eurowings, Sun Express and Air Baltic sell baggage as an extra, so add the cost of your bags before comparing with the full-service fares.
• Ireland lies outside the Schengen area while Germany is inside it, so check which documents you need to present on this route before booking.
• If your booking is split into separate tickets, leave generous time between the flights, since a late first leg would mean buying the second again.
• November marks the low point in the fare calendar, so look there first when your dates are flexible.
