If you’re craving a visit to Ireland, today is your lucky day. We just found a heap of economy and business class availability to Dublin (DUB) and Shannon (SNN) from June 2026 through February 2027.

These flights cost as few as 45,000 points one-way in business class with several seats available, but we recommend booking quickly before they disappear.

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 few as 22,500 Alaska points for the same flight.

Aer Lingus operates most flights, though some may be operated by American Airlines. Taxes and fees are under $20 per award ticket. Here are the details:

  • Class: Business and economy
  • Routes: Boston (BOS), Cleveland (CLE), Charlotte (CLT), Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), New York (JFK), Orlando (MCO), Philadelphia (PHL), Seattle (SEA), and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Dublin (DUB), plus Boston (BOS) and New York (JFK) to Shannon (SNN)
  • Dates: June 2026 through February 2027
  • Seats: Up to 4 seats available per flight
  • Rates: 45,000 points in business class or 22,500 points in economy; pay $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 or keep them the same. 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 Airlines points can be challenging because of the program’s limited 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, shopping online, or using Alaska Airlines’ credit cards.

Final Thoughts

We’ve found plenty of business-class award space to Ireland with Aer Lingus through February 2027. Even better, there are multiple seats available on some flights — something we don’t see all the time. And since Atmos Rewards doesn’t tack on fuel surcharges for Aer Lingus flights, 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 availability this abundant to last long.
