Cheap flights from Dublin to Rzeszow

January is the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates are flexible, start there. Fares are listed from September through April and again in June and July, which means the run-up to Christmas and the deep winter weeks are both worth comparing. Flying midweek usually costs less than a Friday or Sunday departure, and that gap widens around Christmas, New Year and the spring holiday weekends. Book a few weeks ahead for winter trips; for summer, earlier is safer, because seats fill up with people travelling home to Poland.

Ryanair is the low-cost name on this route and the usual pick if you want a direct flight. The rest of the list — Swiss, Lufthansa, Edelweiss Air, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, British Airways, BA CityFlyer and Croatia Airlines — are full-service carriers, and most of them route you through a hub rather than fly you straight there. That difference shows up in the fare rules: a low-cost ticket covers the seat and little else, while a full-service fare bundles more in. Compare the total for the bags and seat you actually need, not just the headline fare.

Flights land at Jasionka, the airport serving Rzeszow, which sits outside the city rather than on its edge. The usual ways into town are a taxi, a pre-booked transfer or a hire car, and there is a bus link for those travelling light. Late arrivals are worth planning for, because transport thins out after the last evening flights, so know how you are getting to your accommodation before you land. If you are heading further into the region, the road connections from the airport are straightforward, but a car makes the onward trip much easier.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check what your fare includes, since a low-cost seat and a full-service ticket bundle different things.
• If your trip involves a connection, keep it on one ticket so a missed link is the airline's problem.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Poland and check the entry rules before you fly.
• Compare January against your own dates, because the cheapest month is not always the one that suits you.
• Plan how you reach central Rzeszow from Jasionka if you land late in the evening.
• Book early for Christmas, New Year and the summer weeks, when seats on this route go fast.
