Cheap Flights from Dublin to Tallinn

Tallinn's weather sets the frame: summers on the Baltic are mild, with daylight that lingers late into the evening, while winter is cold and dark, with only a short stretch of usable light each day. Prices track that pattern — October is where fares tend to bottom out on this route, after the summer rush and before the Christmas market season pulls visitors into the Old Town. Demand hardens around St Patrick's Day on the Dublin end and in the weeks around Christmas and New Year, and midweek departures usually undercut Fridays and Sundays.

The mix splits cleanly in two: Ryanair and Norwegian, including Norwegian's international arm, carry the low-cost side, while the full-service and regional bench is wider — Aer Lingus, Finnair, SAS, Lufthansa City Airlines, HOP!, Nordic Regional Airlines and Emerald Airlines. The route has nonstop service; the legacy names, meanwhile, connect through their own hubs, which stretches the journey but can come out cheaper. What's included differs more than headline fares suggest: budget tickets usually cover a small under-seat bag only, with cabin and checked baggage as paid extras, while full-service fares bundle a standard cabin bag and, on many ticket types, a checked allowance.

Getting into town is the painless part at this end. Lennart Meri Airport sits close to Tallinn's centre, so the transfer feels like a city move rather than an airport trek: a tram stops near the terminal and runs toward the Old Town, local buses cover the same ground, and a taxi or ride-hail keeps it to a short hop. The terminal is compact, so you go from baggage belt to kerb quickly. Two things to watch: in winter, icy pavements slow the last stretch, so leave slack in your plans; and if you land late, check how often the night transport runs before you count on it.

Country facts: Wikidata

• If your ticket chains two separate bookings, leave a generous buffer at the hub, as the second airline will not rebook you.
• Compare nonstop and connecting options in one search, since a change of plane shifts both journey time and price.
• Check baggage rules before paying: low-cost fares here often cover only a small cabin bag, with hold luggage as an extra.
• Estonia is inside the Schengen area and Ireland is not, so confirm the passport or ID rules for your nationality.
• October tends to sit lowest on the price calendar, so scan the month-by-month view before fixing dates.
• In winter, allow extra time for the transfer from Lennart Meri Airport, when icy pavements slow the last stretch.
