How good are these Dublin flights?
- Price: Great. Dublin is one of the cheapest destinations in the UK to get to from Australia often falling at or close to $1,000 return. At $931 return, these are some of the cheapest starting fares we've caught all year.
- Airline: Great. Both Qatar and Etihad are full-service airlines. In fact, Qatar is the world's best airline according to Skytrax.
- Frequent Flyer Points: You can earn QMiles and Etihad Guest miles, respectively, when you book these flights.
- Travel time: Good. All flights include stopovers. The first in the airline's home base and the second, most likely, in London.
- Weather: OK. You'd do best to catch the warm autumn weather in September and October as things start to cool down dramatically in November. If you're seeking snow or are a teacher making the most of the Christmas break, those December and January dates could work for you.
