Welcome to Michele's forum! biggrin biggrin

I can't help with airline rec's as I am US - based. Be sure to note the luggage restrictions and other Terms & Conditions thoroughly, though -- To make sure of fair comparisons.

Best Dublin base depends on your interests, budget and expectations.

Depends where in London? Ryanair would be the budget option, Airlingus Regional (Eddie Stobart airways) another choice possibly also look at City Jet.. factor the cost to and from the flight as well as the ticket price. I assume for 3 days you can pack light so hand baggage only.

Bob has given the main tours.. There are long tours that run to places like the Giants Causeway, Cliffs of Moher, there is even an 18 hour Ring of Kerry tour but I wouldn't advise any of those. from London you can always pop over to closer locations for a long weekend.

With only about 4 days Dublin makes sense as a base. Rail Tours may be of interest to you in addition to the ones already mentioned. There is certainly plenty to see and do in the area to fill your time there.
