We recommend buying your Aer Lingus tickets directly from aerlingus.com. Aer Lingus will offer the best departure times to Dublin, but if your priority is the lowest price, it is advisable to compare the price of your ticket with a competing airline, for example on skyscanner.com.
Airline tickets are offered in several fares, which differ mainly in terms of checked baggage rules or flight change options.
When to buy tickets
For flights within Europe between Ireland and other cities, it is advisable to monitor and buy flights between 2 and 3 months before departure.
Flights within Ireland and between the British Isles are worth looking at a shorter time frame of 1 to 2 months before departure.
For flights across the Atlantic to the United States, the lowest prices tend to be 2 to 4 months before departure.
