Cheap flights from Inverness to Dublin

The shoulder weeks on either side of January are usually where fares dip, straight after the Christmas and New Year rush has passed. January itself is the cheapest month on this route, while the destination's summer and the school holidays around it tend to push prices the other way. Midweek departures often cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, and booking a few weeks ahead rather than days before you fly gives the calendar time to show its full range.

What you feel first between these airlines is the trade-off between price and what the fare covers. Aer Lingus and British Airways are the full-service names here, with a checked or cabin baggage allowance built in, while Easyjet keeps the base fare lean and charges for bags separately. Loganair Limited and Emerald Airlines operate the regional end of the market, and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines comes in with connecting itineraries via Amsterdam when you want an alternative to the direct flights. Whichever you pick, weigh the total with baggage added rather than the headline fare alone.

You land at Dublin Airport, which sits a short drive from the city centre and is well served by buses that run into town regularly, so there is no need for a taxi unless you arrive very late. Since Dublin is the capital of Ireland, expect a busy terminal at peak times, especially around holiday weekends. Have your documents ready at passport control, as you are arriving into a different country from the one you left.

Country facts: Wikidata

• If you book a connecting itinerary on a separate ticket from the direct flights, leave enough time between the two so a delay on the first leg cannot strand you.
• Check the baggage allowance before you pay, because the low-cost fares on this route often cover only a small cabin bag.
• Make sure your passport meets Ireland's entry requirements and check whether any additional documents apply to you.
• Compare the same travel dates across months, since January tends to price well below the summer peak.
• Confirm which terminal and airline your itinerary uses, as several carriers share this route with different schedules.
