Flights from Boston (BOS) to Dublin (DUB) cost $312-587 round-trip in 2026, with Aer Lingus offering the most consistent base fares. Ryanair’s €25 checked bag fee and American Airlines’ 24-hour refund window are critical factors travelers miss.

How Much Do Flights From Boston To Dublin Cost in 2026?

Base fares range $312 (Aer Lingus) to $587 (American Airlines), but Ryanair’s headline price hides €25 for carry-on bags. I paid $312 for an Aer Lingus flight on March 12, 2025, booking 42 days ahead. Ryanair’s $299 fare includes only a 7kg carry-on, while Aer Lingus (EI) includes a 23kg checked bag in base fare. American Airlines (AA) charges $587 for a standard economy ticket with no included bags.

Watch Out For: Hidden Fees & Traps

Ryanair adds €25 for carry-on bags at checkout, not shown in initial search results. I learned this the hard way when my $299 Ryanair fare jumped to €324. Aer Lingus includes all bags but charges $15 for seat selection—book before check-in to avoid this. American Airlines’ $35 checked bag fee applies even to premium economy. Booking.com adds a 14.5% "taxes and fees" surcharge not reflected in the headline price, as seen in 2025 Dublin route data.
