Here are the top 20 destinations for flights and accommodation from Dublin Airport this July and August

We're all going on a summer holiday.

You will be spoilt for choice.

The fact that the weather has been so good lately in Ireland, it has been the first summer in a long time that we haven’t thought about getting the first plane out of here.

However, you have to remember that it is Ireland and the chances that it’s going to stay sunny for the rest of the summer are very unlikely, no matter how much we want it to.

So, you need have a backup plan for when things turn dull and grey once again because before you know it, there will be adverts for Halloween on the television and you will not have escaped this country at all.

People who are yet to make their final holiday plans or are waiting for a last-minute bargain have been helped majorly by holiday rental service, Hundredrooms.

They decided to help those who have yet to book their holidays by identifying the top 20 best value destinations flying from Dublin airport.

In addition to this, they have even found the best accommodation options in each location.

You can fly to Brussels and Budapest or Sofia and Stockholm and if you’re not feeling the car, bus or train, you can even head north to wee Donegal at a reasonable price.
