When is the best time to fly to Waterford?
The best time for a holiday in Waterford is from late April to early October when there's plenty going on for all the family to enjoy especially throughout the school holidays.
The warmest months, July and August, mark the height of the peak season and are particularly popular. Temperatures during this time range from 12-20°C.
If you plan on visiting during this period it is advisable to book flights to Waterford and accommodation well in advance in order to get the best deal.
Late autumn, winter and early spring are the best times to find cheap flights to Waterford. During the off-peak season there is also plenty of cheap accommodation for one night, a weekend break, midweek visit or longer.
