When is the best time to fly to Cork?
Peak season:
The summer months of July and August are generally the busiest and most expensive, so make sure you secure your flight tickets early to find cheap flights to Cork.

The price of flight tickets is also more reasonable.
Off season:
The winter months of December to February are the coldest and quietest months of the year. You’ll easily find the cheapest flights to Cork around the winter, although you’ll have to tolerate the bad weather. Although spring and autumn are also peak seasons to visit, they are also prone to rainfall, so be sure to pack some waterproof clothing too.
