Cheap flights from Dublin to Phoenix

February is the month fares dip lowest on this route, coming after the winter rush when transatlantic demand eases. The price calendar here covers September through March, plus May and August; April, June and July sit outside it. Midweek dates often price below weekend ones, so weigh both before you settle.

Late November brings the Thanksgiving peak, and the stretch from Christmas into early January fills planes, so look ahead for those dates. March pulls spring-break travel, while desert heat keeps Phoenix itself quiet in high summer. For calmer fares, leave a good run of weeks between booking and flying.

What you feel first is the stop: with no nonstop service, every ticket changes planes, and the difference between Aer Lingus, British Airways, United Airlines, American Airlines and Air Canada is mostly where you stop: London, Toronto or a US gateway. BA CityFlyer turns up as the short European leg on some British Airways itineraries, Icelandair bends the line north through Reykjavik, Nordic Regional Airlines feeds the Helsinki option, and Air Transat and WestJet frame the crossing as a leisure trip via Canada. Full-service fares usually fold in checked baggage and seat choice; leisure-leaning carriers more often sell those as add-ons, so compare inclusions, not just the fare.

Getting into town is the easy part: Sky Harbor International sits close to central Phoenix, and an automated people mover links the terminals to the light rail line that runs downtown. Buses, taxis, ride-hailing and rental cars fill in the rest, and this is a city most visitors end up driving in. Because United States entry formalities happen at the first American gateway, or at preclearance before it, arriving at Sky Harbor usually feels domestic: step off, collect your bags, go. Two things to watch — the desert heat that greets you through high summer, and monsoon storms that occasionally snarl the roads on the drive in.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Every booking on this route involves a connection, so check the layover length and whether it is one ticket or two.
• With separate tickets you collect and recheck your bags and pass security again, so leave a generous buffer at the stop.
• Check whether your fare includes checked bags and seat choice, since leisure-leaning carriers often sell both as add-ons.
• Make sure your passport and United States travel authorisation, ESTA or visa, are sorted before you pay.
• Fares are listed from September to March plus May and August, so check the calendar for your own travel month first.
• All Dublin departures leave from the one airport, so spend your comparing time on the connection instead.
