Cheap flights from Dublin to Paris

September is the cheapest month on this route, and fares tend to stay reasonable through the quieter weeks of autumn and late winter. Summer and the school holidays push prices up, and so do the Christmas and New Year days around both capitals. Flying midweek and at less sociable hours usually costs less than a Friday evening or a Sunday return. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and autumn trips, and much earlier if you want to travel in July or August, when Dublin and Paris both fill with visitors.

The airline mix here runs from low-cost to full-service. Ryanair, Transavia France, Vueling Airlines and Norwegian International sell bare fares, so a cabin bag, a checked bag and a seat choice all cost extra. Aer Lingus sits in the middle, with fares that often include a cabin bag. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and its KLM Cityhopper partner, Malta Airlines and Emerald Airlines tend to appear on itineraries with a stop, where a bag is usually part of the ticket but the journey takes longer. Mokulele Flight Service also shows up in results, so read the details before you assume a nonstop.

Paris has three airports and they are not interchangeable. Charles De Gaulle and Orly sit inside the region and have rail and bus links straight into the centre. Beauvais Tille lies well outside the city and is served mainly by coach, so add that leg to your plans before you book. Check the airport code on your ticket rather than the city name, because a fare that looks lower can cost you more once the transfer is paid for.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Paris airport your fare lands at, since Beauvais Tille, Charles De Gaulle and Orly mean very different journeys into town.
• Dublin has one departure airport, so confirm your terminal and allow time for security.
• On low-cost tickets from Ryanair, Transavia France, Vueling Airlines or Norwegian International, price bags before comparing totals.
• If your itinerary connects, keep both legs on one ticket so a delay does not leave you rebooking.
• Carry a passport or identity card accepted for France, and check the entry rules before you travel.
• Book early for September, the cheapest month, and even earlier for summer and Christmas peaks.
