Bubblin' over for cheap flights to Dublin

Despite its close proximity to the UK, flights to Dublin have not always been affordable so its always worth taking a look at websites like these to work out when the best time is to have your adventure in Ireland. After all, you might not find a leprechaun waiting for you with a pot of gold!

The first stop on our internet search for cheap flights had to be Ireland's very own Ryanair website, which can offer extraordinarily low prices for flights in and around Europe. For example, buy a return ticket to Dublin, flying out from London Gatwick on the 3rd of October, returning on the 10th from just £37.98, exclusive of airport tax. Thinking of doing some Christmas shopping whilst you're on holiday? Return flights from Liverpool on the 12th of December, returning the 19th are available from £43.98.

Next up is the ebookers.ie website, currently offering up to 50% off on a range of holiday hotels booked through the company. The website provides flights between a plethora of international destinations and Ireland's capital. Travel from Helsinki to Dublin from just £283.07, leaving the 16th and returning the 23rd of October with the Lufthansa airline. From the 1st of October, you could be jetting off from Budapest to Dublin from £208.90, returning on the 11th.

Finally, we looked at another Irish airline, Aerlingus, and found these great deals on flights: from the 3rd of October until the 14th of March 2012, you can fly to Dublin from Manchester, Birmingham or Glasgow from just £19.99 return. All bookings must be made by 19th September 2011.
