Cheap flights from Dublin to Valencia

Book as soon as your dates are set: on a leisure route like this, fares tend to climb as seats fill, and midweek departures usually undercut the weekend. November is the cheapest month in the calendar — the beach season is over, the city stays mild, and demand dips. Autumn suits both ends: October still feels like summer in Spain while Dublin cools. Christmas, New Year and Easter lift fares from both directions, August is Spain's own holiday month, and the school summer break keeps June and July busy. If you want March, note the Fallas festival — Valencia fills up for the fireworks, and flights around those dates go early.

Ryanair is the workhorse of this route: direct flights, low fares, and a baggage model where only a small under-seat bag comes included. Aer Lingus is the other name on the nonstop service, and its standard fares add seat selection and a more generous baggage allowance. Vueling, Transavia France and Iberia Express work the same low-cost way but reach Valencia with a change. TAP Portugal, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France and Swiss are the full-service side, connecting through their own hubs, and their one-stop fares can win out when the direct seats are expensive. Whichever you pick, price the baggage in before you compare — that is where the fare types really differ.

Arrive late in the day and your transfer options narrow: the metro and the local train from Valencia Airport run less often towards midnight, so look up the last departure before you fly and keep a taxi ready as the fallback. The airport sits outside the city in a single terminal, so once you are through, the way in is straightforward: the metro is the usual choice, with local trains and airport buses as alternatives, and the ride into the centre is short however you go. Sunday and public-holiday timetables run thinner than the rest of the week. Once in town, the old quarter, the market hall and the beach end of the city are all easy to reach on foot or by the same metro.

Country facts: Wikidata

• If you book the legs as separate tickets, leave a generous gap between the flights in case the first one runs late.
• Low-cost fares here include only a small under-seat bag, so price a cabin bag or a checked bag into the total before you decide.
• Ireland and Spain are both in the EU, but check your passport or identity card is in date before you fly.
• Dublin has a single airport, so the departure point on any fare you compare will simply read Dublin.
• November is the cheapest month here; the price calendar for the winter months shows the dip clearly.
• If you are set on the Fallas festival in March, book early — flights and rooms around those dates go first.
