Frequently Asked Questions
Why direct flights from both cities instead of a geographic midpoint?
A map midpoint between Dublin and Edinburgh is usually a town neither of you can reach easily. We instead show real destinations both cities fly to directly, which is normally faster and cheaper than meeting at the literal halfway point.
Where can someone from Dublin and someone from Edinburgh meet halfway?
Any destination on this page works as a meet-in-the-middle point: both Dublin and Edinburgh have a direct flight to it, so you arrive in the same place without changing planes. Open the finder to see every shared date, sorted by weather and combined flight cost.
How are the destinations ranked?
