Cheap flights from Dublin to Nuremberg

What drives demand here is the German calendar: Nuremberg's Christmas market packs the old town in the weeks before Christmas, and even with the market pulling crowds, December still comes out as the cheapest month on this route, though the market weeks themselves can sit above the December average. School half-term breaks in Ireland and Germany lift prices in autumn and spring. Midweek departures usually cost less than Fridays and Sundays. Fares on this page are published for early autumn through March and again in July, so those are the months worth comparing.

Aer Lingus is the first port of call, since it flies out of its home base at Dublin Airport, with Emerald Airlines covering regional sectors from the same terminal. Lufthansa and its City Airlines offshoot look after the German side, while KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, British Airways and Turkish Airlines route the trip through hubs elsewhere in Europe. Pegasus and Eurowings are the low-cost options: their headline fares leave bags and seat selection billed separately, so a ticket that looks cheaper can level out once luggage is added. The full-service carriers generally include a cabin bag and a checked allowance, which changes the arithmetic if you fly with a suitcase.

Arriving late in the day is more likely here than on a direct route, because one delayed connection pushes your landing into the evening. Nuremberg Airport is the city's only one and sits close to the centre: the U-Bahn picks you up outside the terminal and runs straight into town, so the door-to-door trip stays short. If you land after the metro service thins out, taxis wait by the exit and the ride into the old town is quick. The terminal is compact, so even a late arrival gets you outside fast — what to watch is not the airport itself but the connection that got you there.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Pegasus and Eurowings fares leave cabin and checked bags out of the ticket, so price the luggage in before comparing.
• No leg is non-stop, so check the connection length and whether both flights sit on one ticket that rebooks you after a delay.
• Both cities have a single airport, so just confirm the itinerary names Dublin Airport out and Nuremberg Airport in.
• Irish and EU citizens can enter Germany on a passport or identity card; other passports should check German entry rules first.
• December is the cheapest month on this route, though Christmas-market weeks can run higher, so book those dates early.
