Flight costs and duration will vary based on a number of factors including the departure airport, the carrier and how advanced (or otherwise) your booking is.

As an example (taken in late 2007)

A single return flight from Leeds Bradford airport to Dublin, booked one month in advance (and including baggage charges and taxes) with Ryanair was 45 pounds stirling, or about 70 euros - in our opinion excellent value. The flight duration was 50 minutes to Dublin and one hour back to Leeds Bradford airport.
