Did you know that Dublin has one of the fastest-growing populations of any city in the world? Every year it's Dublin! (Sorry, but we couldn't resist.) The Irish are known around the world for the craic, but not so much for the weather, so if the grey skies are getting to you, we're here to put the vitamin D in Dublin.

Dublin Airport is Ireland's busiest airport by a country mile, with a record 36.4 million passengers passing through last year alone. It operates 364 days a year (every day except Christmas), so it might not help you dodge the hungover festive dinner with Uncle Nigel, but on any other day there's a flight with your name on it. Ryanair runs the biggest operation here with well over 100 destinations, Aer Lingus covers both short-haul Europe and transatlantic routes, and carriers like TUI, Emirates and Etihad mean you can fly direct to places most Irish airports can only dream about.

Whether you're after a week on a Greek island, a fortnight on the Costa del Sol, a beach-and-pool all-inclusive in Turkey or even a long-haul escape to Dubai, Dublin connects you to over 200 destinations in 42 countries. Pick your dates, pick your destination, and let us do the rummaging for the best flight-and-hotel package. Just don't forget your flip-flops.
