Flying with children, families and groups from Dublin to Edinburgh

Families fly the Dublin to Edinburgh route with us all year round. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Edinburgh when you land

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, a city of a castle on a crag, the medieval Old Town and the Georgian New Town, with Edinburgh Airport (EDI) about 13 km west of Princes Street; the Highlands, Loch Lomond, St Andrews and Glasgow all begin within an hour of the terminal by road. Start with the Royal Yacht Britannia at Leith, the Scotch Whisky Experience and the Forth Bridges, then Rosslyn Chapel and Edinburgh Castle. A tip from our desk: If your stay is in St Andrews, the Highlands, Glasgow or a golf resort, book the transfer to that place directly - the airport sits at the junction of the M8 and M9 and is the right starting point for all of them.

If you want the days in Edinburgh organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it by WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from Dublin to Edinburgh

August brings the Festival and the Fringe, when the city doubles in size, December the Christmas market and Hogmanay; summer days are long and winter ones short and wet, and the A8 and city bypass are slowest at weekday rush hours. On the flight from Dublin to Edinburgh, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Edinburgh to Dublin

We book the return leg from Edinburgh to Dublin just as easily, generally on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Dublin to Edinburgh?

The cost of a flight from Dublin to Edinburgh depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we look up the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Dublin to Edinburgh: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Dublin to Edinburgh is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more

When you fill out the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Dublin to Edinburgh flight first, then the alternatives.

Airlines flying from Dublin to Edinburgh

On the flight from Dublin to Edinburgh you can choose between Aer Lingus and Ryanair. A full-service airline normally includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

• Aer Lingus - Dublin to Edinburgh
• Ryanair - Dublin to Edinburgh

Departure: Dublin Airport (DUB)

Your journey starts at Dublin Airport (DUB). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. Frequent express coaches and city buses reach the centre in about 30 to 45 minutes and suit a city-centre hotel with light luggage; there is no rail link at the airport, so a private car is simpler for families, big bags, late arrivals and destinations such as Howth, Malahide, Wicklow or Belfast.

• Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Dublin Airport
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly

Arrival: Edinburgh Airport (EDI) and getting into Edinburgh

The flight lands at Edinburgh Airport (EDI). Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, a city of a castle on a crag, the medieval Old Town and the Georgian New Town, with Edinburgh Airport (EDI) about 13 km west of Princes Street; the Highlands, Loch Lomond, St Andrews and Glasgow all begin within an hour of the terminal by road. From arrivals you have taxis, metro, tram or bus and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Dublin to Edinburgh journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Dublin to Edinburgh flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Dublin to Edinburgh. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
