flights to dublin

dunker1

Hi folks
Planning a weekend trip to Dublin in mid May, wondered if any of you knowledgeable guys could suggest the cheapest flights.
Had a look around the comparison sites, was quite shocked by the charges they all seem to whack on top, unavoidable i guess.
If anyone has an idea of a rough figure I should be looking at, it is fly Friday 13th and return on Sunday 15th.
Sorry if I am appearing lazy, willing to search around but never sure if I am missing an easier option.
Thanks in advance.

Where you want to fly from would be of MASSIVE help in answering your question or even pointing you in the right direction

Flying from London, can be either Gatwick or Heathrow.

Unfortunaely, the days of 99p flights to Dublin are long gone.

I would compare

and

BMI and Aer Lingus are much more transparent with the extra "fees" than Ryanair are. Just make sure you take all of these costs as well as the cost of getting to/from the airport into account.

Dosh, thanks very much, really helpful.

Had a look at Aer Lingus for you, for flight only including booking fee, no checked bags etc it's looking at £85 pp from Gatwick.
