Cheap flights from Dublin to Kos

Book July and August departures several weeks ahead, because school holidays can tighten availability. September is the cheapest month among those with fares, and May and June are also in the price calendar. November can be a quieter option outside the summer season. Midweek flights are often priced lower than weekend ones, while Sundays tend to be busier at both ends. Watch Greek and Irish public holidays around your dates, since they can nudge prices even in otherwise calm months.

Low-cost fares on this route include a seat and one cabin bag, with hold luggage, seat choice and onboard food usually charged separately. Full-service fares tend to include a checked bag and refreshments, though the exact inclusions vary by ticket type. Ryanair and Eurowings are the low-cost names in the list, while Aegean Airlines, Swiss, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Etihad Airways and British Airways are full-service carriers. Direct flights exist, but many itineraries connect, and on separate tickets you may have to recheck bags and pass through security again. Compare the total cost after bags rather than the headline fare alone.

From Ippokratis you reach Kos town by taxi, public bus or hire car, and the transfer is usually a short, dry road rather than a long mountain drive. The airport is Kos's only air gateway, so arrivals are concentrated and can feel busy on changeover days. If you land late, check the last bus before relying on it, and confirm your hire car desk's opening hours. Taxis and shuttle transfers are the simpler options with children or late arrivals. Keep your passport and booking details handy, as queues can build when several flights land close together.
