Ibiza to Dublin is 1,720 km and about 2 h 35 in the air, normally a midsize jet. Indicative price from €11 600 for the whole aircraft, one way. Unlike most Mediterranean returns this one crosses a border: Ireland is in the European Union but outside the Schengen area, so there is a passport desk at the Irish end – minutes at a business terminal, but minutes you should plan. +357 95 119759, any hour.
Two and a half hours north-west, from an island at the peak of its season to the Irish coast. Three things shape the day: the departure slot out of Ibiza, the border formality on arrival, and the fact that Dublin is not always the right Irish airport for where you are actually going. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs, arranged 24/7.
REQUEST A QUOTEA long summer sector with one complication most Mediterranean pairings do not have. Ibiza has one runway, a compact business-aviation apron and, between mid-June and mid-September, more aircraft wanting to be there than there is room for. Dublin handles business aviation away from the scheduled terminals, so the walk from car to aircraft is short – but Ireland sits outside the Schengen area, which makes this a border crossing rather than an internal flight.
Ireland is the unusual half of this table. Three fields are within ninety kilometres of each other in sector length, and which one is right depends entirely on the county you are going to rather than on the flight.
| Airport | Codes | Distance | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ibiza | IBZ / LEIB | 1,720 km | Where the sector starts, and the field every figure on this page is measured from. One runway, a compact business-aviation apron and, between mid-June and mid-September, more aircraft wanting to be there than there is room for. Private handling is separate; the slot and the parking are not. |
| Dublin | DUB / EIDW | arrival | The default and the field every figure here is measured to. Business aviation is handled away from the scheduled terminals, so the walk from aircraft to car is short. Tell us your arrival hour early and we confirm the slot and the handling together. |
| Cork | ORK / EICK | 1,632 km | The shortest sector of the three, by about ninety kilometres, and the right arrival if you are heading for Cork, Kerry or west Waterford. Ninety kilometres is a couple of minutes in the air and a great deal of road at the other end. |
| Shannon | SNN / EINN | 1,729 km | Effectively the same sector length as Dublin. It suits Limerick, Galway and the mid-west, and it has long runways and quiet ground handling, which makes an awkward aircraft or an awkward hour easier than it would be at the capital. |

Seventeen hundred kilometres with a full cabin is midsize work. Below that you are trading passengers or luggage for the saving, and at the end of a summer stay the luggage is rarely the thing people want to trade.
The default. Seven to nine passengers, full luggage, non-stop, and a cabin in which two and a half hours passes as an afternoon rather than a wait.
See the fleet ›Workable with a short passenger list and light luggage, and a genuine saving when it fits. It is also the easiest category to place on a crowded island apron in August.
See the fleet ›For a larger group, golf equipment, or a trip that continues westward afterwards. More cabin, and more margin when the Atlantic weather pushes the routing around.
See the fleet ›Indicative price from €11 600 for the whole aircraft, one way – a floor for a sensible aircraft on an ordinary day rather than a figure for the last Sunday in August.
The cabin moves it most. Then positioning: Ireland is not where the summer Mediterranean fleet lives, so the aircraft usually comes from somewhere else and has to go somewhere else afterwards, and both halves of that journey sit in the quotation. The island slot and apron add their own pressure in the peak weeks, and the border formality adds administration rather than cost.
Where the saving is: booking the return as one trip, and empty legs. Northbound out of the Balearics at the end of the season is a productive corridor for those, because aircraft that spent the summer in the islands are going home anyway.
GET A FIRM PRICEThe island season is June to September and sets the rhythm of this route. The Irish end has a calendar of its own: the golf and racing dates fill handling at Dublin faster and harder than any conference does.
Book early for August at the island end, and for the days either side of a major Irish sporting fixture at the other. Book early too if your arrival hour is fixed, because the border step means the schedule carries less slack than an internal flight would.
Outside the peak weeks, short notice is workable and the sector is unremarkable. Tell us the county rather than the country and we will often save you an hour on the ground by naming Cork or Shannon instead.
Dublin is a natural jumping-off point westward, and the second leg is simpler arranged with the first.
The return crossing, and the half most parties book at the same time. Booking both together usually costs less than two one-way flights and secures the island slot in advance.
Dublin to Ibiza ›Back into continental Europe in about an hour and a half, and a common continuation when the island stay was the first half of a longer trip.
Dublin to Paris ›An hour east, and the commonest second leg of all on this corridor: an island week that finishes with two working days in London rather than at home.
