Sounds about right especially since you aren't staying over a Saturday night, maybe try a few other dates but you'll be lucky to get under £100 these days. Maybe there are cheaper flights from Stansted or Gatwick


PS

I was talking rubbish for once. Just checked on the BA website and there are fares well under £100 return for hand baggage only and if you are flexible about time of day.

If you don't mind Stansted, flights can be had for £50 with Ryanair.

Or drive and get the ferry?

And sell a kidney in the process…

Op, try Shannon as well. It’s not too far a drive to Cork and you have more flights. I’m over there regularly from Stansted and flights from Ryanair can be had for buttons if you time it right. Year before last I managed £30 return on my own.

If you want to go a bit further west, Cahirsaveen is not a bad spot for doing the ring of kerry, visiting killarney, dingle or tralee,
No idea how you share a place from airbnb but we stayed in "Family home in cahersiveen town" "Entire townhouse hosted by Maryb" couple of minutes walk from the town centre.

I've flown between London and Dublin pretty much every week for work, for close to six years now. My average price about £80 - £100 return, almost all with BA. . Its worth checking London City airport, if its convenient as they can often have very good prices.
You could also look at Belfast as a destination as you can drive down to Dublin in a couple of hours.

Use google flights to find the cheapest days to fly and the cheapest airports.

Hardly anyone flies to cork? Most people will fly into Dublin or Belfast then drive to the west coast, not exactly a big drive and majority is motorway these days?

I suspect that prices are high because you are going during school holidays (which you can’t avoid) prices for all travel and accommodation always get pushed up.

I’m not sure how that’s misleading but ok. Have you tried the Aer Lingus website? It’ll likely be no different but they’re the ones that operate those flights not BA.

Alternatively use Ryanair if you’re set on Cork. They fly from Gatwick, Luton and Stansted for as little as £20 each way.

Went for a week this summer,some beautiful places.but definitely not cheap. Small city runaround for a rented came in at £650 for 5days didnt need it when we stayed in Dublin.
Only the two of us had a great time.it was not in school holiday's. but you could have a week all inclusive in a decent hotel abroad for similar money .
