What does the day in Dublin cost for two?
The ground cost is £38.85 each, so £77.70 for the two of you. That covers Aircoach in and back, getting around, lunch and dinner. If you want to push the boat out, book one nice dinner and keep lunch simple.
Dublin's free sights work well for a couple. A walk across the Ha'penny Bridge and along the Liffey, the National Gallery, and Phoenix Park if the weather's kind. Sunset on the 14th is at 17:32.
My pick
From Birmingham, the Saturday. It's the cheapest, it's a sensible start time, and you get the evening in Dublin on Valentine's weekend. From Bristol, Dublin on the day if you want the long day together, or Alicante on the Monday if you want sun.
Worth knowing, half term starts on Monday 15 February for a lot of schools in England, so check your dates if you've got kids.
How do you make a day trip feel romantic?
It's easy for a day trip to turn into a dash between gates. A few things make the difference.
- Sit together. Some airlines charge to pick seats, so check before you book and add it to your total.
- Plan one moment, not ten. A sunset walk on the beach in Alicante, a drink by the river in Dublin, the view over the rooftops in Prague. Build the day around it.
- Don't over book. Leave an hour free in the afternoon to wander with no plan.
- Take hand luggage only. No bag drop, no waiting at the carousel at the end of a long day.
And if you're surprising someone, tell them to bring their passport without telling them why. That bit never gets old.
One last thing
February is a long way off and these fares from 2 November will move, up or down. For other airports, see our Valentine's day trip for two guide or the full Valentine's day trips page.
