Cheap flights from Dublin to Tokyo

What you pay tracks demand: school breaks in Ireland, Christmas and New Year, and Japan's own holiday peaks all push fares up. November is the quiet one — it comes back as the cheapest month to fly, and with prices listed for all twelve months you can see the dip for yourself. Midweek departures out of Dublin tend to undercut weekend ones, so aim for the middle of the week where your dates allow. Book this one early; long-haul fares out of Dublin rarely improve by waiting.

Every itinerary here connects, and where you change planes shapes the whole trip. Qatar Airways and Etihad route through their Gulf hubs, KLM and Air France through Amsterdam and Paris, Turkish Airlines through Istanbul, and Air India, China Eastern, Hainan and Juneyao through Delhi or mainland Chinese cities. Some of those stops run overnight, others add only a few hours, so weigh the layover alongside the fare. Aer Lingus shows up on some combinations as the short feeder into a partner's long-haul network. None are budget carriers, so a checked bag and meals are typically included on the long sectors, though inclusions shift with fare tier — weigh the whole ticket.

Long-haul arrivals into Tokyo often land as the evening wears on, and that changes your plan: by the time you're through passport control, the fast trains into town are thinning out. Haneda sits close to central Tokyo, with monorail and train links; Narita lies farther out and relies on express trains and airport buses — both airports serve this route, so note which one you land at. Moving between the two is a journey in itself, so never plan that transfer tight on separate bookings. A late landing can leave you weighing an airport hotel against a long taxi ride, so if the calendar allows, favour an arrival with daylight to spare.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Tokyo receives you at either Haneda or Narita, so confirm which airport your itinerary uses before paying.
• Baggage allowances differ between these carriers and fare tiers, so check what your ticket includes before comparing on price.
• Check Japan's entry rules and passport requirements for your nationality, along with transit formalities at your connection point.
• Every flight connects, so on separate tickets leave a generous buffer in case the first leg runs late.
• Fares are listed for all twelve months and November comes back lowest, so scan the calendar before fixing dates.
