    Two airlines run that route, Aer Lingus and Ryanair. Why not just look up their respective websites? You won't get them any cheaper than there. We aren't here to do all the work for you.

    However, just a point on the dates you are looking at - book now rather than later. That is a Bank Holiday weekend in Ireland so it is a peak travel weekend - it is also the week that Irish schools are in half term - consequently flights won't be discounted. That's why when you look at the Ryanair website you will see that the week is specifically excluded from all offers.

    Ah ok cheers. I was looking at them not expecting you to do so, just in case anybody saw that ryanair were doing their euro flights thing again.

    No worries.

    As I said though, it is half term that week so they won't do the cheap flights with any offer that includes that week. They always jack up the prices on bank holiday weekends, half terms and sporting weekends. If you were able to go a week before or a week after you would do it alot cheaper, but then again you often gotta go when you gotta go!

    aerarann can be hit and miss price wise but as it is on his dates it comes to 250 euros for the both of them. 150 of that is taxes unfortunately. I recently flew with them to inverness 2 adults and 2 children came to 150 euros which was a pretty good deal to be fair, so they can be very competitive sometimes.

    Cheers, I think Ryabair might be best pricewise, think we will go the week before for 41e if we book now.
