If heading to Ireland is on your must-visit list, we just found a lot of economy and business class availability to Dublin and Shannon through the end of this year.

These flights cost as few as 45,000 points one-way in business class with several seats available, so you should book now before award space is booked up.

Let’s take a look at the details.

Award Alert: Business Class to Ireland

These awards are available through Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards and can be booked for as few as 45,000 points one-way in business class — though they jump up to 55,000 or 70,000 points if you’re leaving from the Midwest or West Coast. If you want to fly economy, you can snag seats for as low as 22,500 Alaska points for the same flight.

Aer Lingus is the operating airline, though some flights may be operated by American Airlines, and taxes and fees will be less than $20 per award ticket. Here are the details:

Class: Business and economy
Routes: New York (JFK) and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Dublin (DUB) and Shannon (SNN)
Dates: October through December 2025
Seats: Up to 5 seats available per flight
Rates: 45,000 points in business class or 22,500 points in economy, plus $18.10 in taxes and fees

To search for available dates, you can use a tool like Seats.aero, which provides a big-picture overview across various dates, airports, and programs.

Once you’ve found your flights, you can book them on Alaska Airlines’ website.

You can even add connecting flights if there’s award space. Depending on the total flight distance of your new ticket, this could make your award tickets more expensive. That said, you can add a free stopover in Dublin or Shannon when booking through Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards.

Best Ways To Book

The best way to book these Aer Lingus flights is to redeem Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points.

However, earning Alaska points can be tough, due to the program’s relative lack of transfer partners. If you have Bilt Rewards points, you can transfer them instantly to Atmos Rewards at a 1:1 ratio. Alternatively, you can earn Alaska points by dining out or with Alaska Airlines’ credit cards.

Final Thoughts

We’ve found plenty of business class award space with Aer Lingus through the end of 2025. Even better, there are multiple seats available on some flights — not something we see all the time. And since Aer Lingus doesn’t pass on fuel surcharges, you’ll pay less than $20 per person in taxes and fees.

Even if you’re not interested in visiting Ireland, with rates this low, you can hop on a cheap intra-Europe flight to get where you’d really like to go. We don’t expect these amazing rates to last long!
