ABROADERS
Abroaders is a company that helps travelers earn and use rewards points to save thousands each year on flights. We have used Abroaders for the last two round-trip flights we’ve taken to Dublin using rewards points from putting our everyday purchases on credit cards the Abroaders team has recommended for us.As a result, we have paid only around $100 per person for each round-trip itinerary.
AIRLINES
If you want to book directly with an airline, these airlines offer the lowest prices to Dublin we’ve seen over the last year. WOW Airlines is a new Icelandic budget airline that is exceptionally low in price. Note that any budget airline is likely less expensive because certain amenities may not be available. It’s always best to check the airline’s website and read the fine print before booking.
DEAL SITES
These deal sites offer regular trip packages to Ireland,which usually include hotels and a travel itinerary. You may find the price to be worth the purchase even if you only use the flight. Make sure to read the fine print as deals may have black-out dates or certain restrictions. These deal sites might also be a good option if you are looking to see more ofIreland beyond Wicklow and Dublin.
