Cheap flights from Dublin to Milan

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the calendar above shows how far the other months sit from it. Spring and early autumn usually land in the middle, while the summer peak and the winter holidays push fares up. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, so if your dates are loose, try shifting them by a day or two. Book a few weeks ahead for the low-cost carriers, and earlier if you need a specific departure time. Italian public holidays and the August break fill planes quickly, so compare the whole month before you commit.

Ryanair, Vueling, Transavia France and Norwegian are the low-cost names you will see most often here, and they price bags, seat choice and priority boarding separately from the fare. Aer Lingus, Air France, Iberia and Malta Airlines are the full-service options, where a checked bag and a seat are usually part of the ticket. Emerald Airlines and Mokulele Flight Service also turn up in results, so look at who actually operates the flight before you decide. Some carriers fly Dublin to Milan direct, while others sell connections through their own hubs, and that changes both the journey and what happens if a leg is delayed.

Milan has three airports and they are not interchangeable. Malpensa is the largest and sits furthest from the city, with rail and coach links running into the centre. Linate is the closest to the middle of Milan, a short ride by bus or taxi. Bergamo/Orio al Serio is in Bergamo itself, popular with low-cost carriers, and coaches connect it to Milan. Whichever you land at, check the airport code on your ticket before you arrange ground transport, and leave room for the transfer if you have a connection or a fixed check-in time.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Milan airport your fare lands at, because Malpensa, Linate and Bergamo are far apart.
• Confirm whether the flight is direct or a connection, and whether a connection sits on one ticket or two.
• Look at the baggage allowance on the low-cost carriers, where a cabin bag can cost extra.
• Read the check-in and seat rules, since low-cost and full-service airlines handle them differently.
• Have your passport or national ID card ready and valid for travel to Italy.
• Compare October against your own dates, since that is the month where fares usually drop.
