Cheap flights from Dublin to Wellington

Booking well in advance gives you the widest selection of dates and the clearest view of seasonal shifts. You will find the lowest fares in January, when travel demand drops and airlines adjust their schedules. Prices also appear for October, November, December, February, and May, letting you compare options across autumn and spring. Weekday departures typically stay steadier than weekend flights, and you should watch for school breaks and the December holiday period, which tighten seat availability on both legs of the journey.

The base fare covers checked baggage, seat selection, and meals on these routes, while optional upgrades like priority boarding appear only during checkout. Etihad Airways, Emirates, American Airlines, Aer Lingus, Qatar Airways, and British Airways operate these connections through their respective hubs. Every listed carrier provides standard amenities before you purchase additional services.

Landing after dark means you will miss the bulk of daytime transport options and rely on later services to reach the city centre. Wellington Airport sits just outside the downtown area, so you should factor in a short drive or a scheduled shuttle to cross the harbour. Evening arrivals often meet quieter terminals, which speeds up baggage claim but requires you to arrange ground transport before your flight touches down.
