Flybe has added four extra return flights on two of its most popular Dublin routes specifically those to and from Exeter and Southampton over the St Patrick’s Day weekend on 16th March, 17th and 19th March to accommodate the joint demand from those wanting to celebrate this key national holiday, as well as from those travelling to Dublin for the Six Nations Rugby match between Ireland and England on Saturday 18th. 

With these additional services, the airline will now offer a total choice of 62 flights between Dublin and four UK airports over the extended St Patrick’s Day weekend from four UK airports, the others being from Cardiff and Doncaster Sheffield.

One-way fares from £24.99 including taxes and airport charges.

Vincent Hodder, Flybe’s chief revenue officer commented: “Could there be a better weekend to visit Dublin than for St Patrick’s Day? There is high demand for flights to and from Ireland’s capital city over the extended St Patrick’s Day weekend and we want to make sure that all those who want to be there for the celebrations and, of course, those heading for the big rugby match, too, can get there. We hope that by adding these few flights, many more customers will have the opportunity to book convenient and affordable travel to Dublin to be with their family and friends for this massive weekend.”
