Cheap Flights from Nottingham to Dublin

Dublin's weather is mild but changeable, with short daylight in winter and long bright evenings near midsummer, and the fare calendar reflects that rhythm. March is the cheapest month on the route, while the summer months and the weeks around Christmas tend to sit higher. School holidays in the United Kingdom and Ireland lift demand in both directions, so if your dates are fixed around them, booking further ahead gives you more choice of departures.

Ryanair sells a basic fare where the seat itself is nearly all you get, and cabin bags, checked luggage and seat selection appear as extras at booking. Aer Lingus and Emerald Airlines work closer to a full-service model, with baggage allowances that are more generous before you start paying supplements. Loganair Limited also operates on this route, and its fare rules differ again, so read what each ticket includes before comparing prices. All four fly nonstop, which matters because a basic fare loses its appeal if you have to add a costly connection.

Before you land, decide how you will get from Dublin Airport into the city, since the airport sits a bus ride from the centre rather than within walking distance. Regular buses and express coach services run into town and take you close to the main rail and tram stops. Dublin is Ireland's capital, so expect the arrivals hall to be busy at peak times, and keep an eye on the gate your flight uses, as the terminal layout is split across piers.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Work out what a low-cost fare really costs once you have added the cabin bag you actually need.
• Confirm your departure is East Midlands, since the ticket will not accept you at another airport.
• Check whether two tickets bought separately leave you unprotected if one flight is delayed.
• Make sure your documents meet Irish entry rules before you travel.
• Compare March fares with summer dates if your trip can move, since the gap can be wide.
