Dublin Weekend Flight, Birmingham - Dublin Return 7th (22.10) -11th (06.10) July (Hand Luggage Only) £30.75 @ Ryanair

With no luggage to check in, 1 hour before flight time is plenty. Ryanair only start boarding at the "gate closes" time on their boarding passes - it is a bit of a stroll to the ryanair gates in Dublin so if mobility issues, ignore me. Pre covid, I'd regularly only be there 30-40mins before flights which were every 2-3 weeks once upon a time

No, it is not. I visit my brother in Dublin, and on occasions, I come across this price, but not on a regular basis.

all depends if you know where to go, Dublin can be as cheap or expensive as you want, it's the same in all city's even in engerland

I agree the flight times are stupid, and that's why it is cheap. But it is not £5 only cheaper than when using flights at better times. If we use the days on this deal, the cheapest seems to be £85 and the departure flight tine is still not great. I think people who have children can't compromise and pay extra for better times, as it will cost them a lot. In this case, for 4, it is about £140. Leaving at different times means nearly £300. That's a big difference. When I'm on my own, I'd rather pay more for convenience. But for 4 of us, we often rather pay to stay the night before at a hotel near the airport. Last year, we paid £26 for a family of 4 in a Travelodge 20 min away from Birmingham Airport. Worked out cheaper than buying tickets at the 'normal' times. (edited)

£6 now that would be a bargain
