Cheap flights from Dublin to Newquay

December is the cheapest month on this route, which makes a winter trip to Cornwall the budget option if your dates are flexible. Fares are shown from October through to August, so you can compare autumn and spring departures as well. Expect the summer months to sit at the top of the range, since that is when Cornwall draws its biggest crowds, and school holidays in particular to push prices up. Midweek departures are usually worth a look before you settle on a weekend.

The mix leans low-cost: Ryanair and Aer Lingus fly the route alongside Emerald Airlines, with direct service keeping the journey short. On the full-service side you have British Airways and its regional arm BA CityFlyer, plus Loganair Limited, and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines appears as a connecting option through its network. What is included differs sharply between the two camps: the low-cost fares typically cover little beyond the seat itself, so checked bags and even cabin bags can cost extra, while the full-service carriers generally bundle baggage into the ticket. Weigh the total with luggage against the headline fare before you pick.

Before you land at Saint Mawgan, sort out how you will cover the stretch into Newquay itself, because the airport sits outside town on the Cornish coast and there is no rail link on the doorstep. Buses and pre-booked taxis are the usual ways in, and hiring a car is worth considering if you plan to explore the coast beyond the town. The airport is compact, so arrivals are quick, but onward transport can thin out later in the day — check timings that match your flight before you set off.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Dublin has a single airport, so confirm your departure terminal details rather than the airport itself.
• Compare the low-cost fares with bags added, since Ryanair and Aer Lingus charge separately for luggage.
• Check passport requirements for travel between Ireland and the United Kingdom before you book.
• If you take a connecting option such as KLM, confirm whether the two legs sit on one ticket or separate ones.
• Look at December fares first if your dates are flexible, then compare the summer months you want to avoid.
• Match your arrival time to bus and taxi availability at Saint Mawgan, since coverage drops off late in the day.
