[Expired] [Award Alert] Wide-Open Availability in Business Class to Ireland From 45,000 Miles

If heading to Ireland is on your to-do list this summer, we just found a lot of economy and business class availability to Dublin and Shannon through September 2025.

These flights cost as few as 45,000 miles 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 Mileage Plan and can be booked for as few as 45,000 miles one-way in business class — though they jump up to 55,000 or 70,000 miles 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 miles for the same flight.

Aer Lingus is the operating airline, and taxes and fees will be less than $20 per award ticket. Here are the details:

• Class: Business and economy
• Routes: Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), New York (JFK), Newark (EWR), and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Dublin (DUB)
• Dates: July through September 2025
• Seats: Up to 4 seats available per flight
• Rates: 45,000 miles in business class or 22,500 miles 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’s 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 Mileage Plan.

Best Ways To Book

The best way to book these Aer Lingus flights is to redeem Alaska Airlines miles.

However, earning Alaska miles 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 Alaska Mileage Plan at a 1:1 ratio.

Final Thoughts

We’ve found tons of economy and business class award space with Aer Lingus through the end of summer. Even better, there are up to 4 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 in taxes and fees.

Even if you’re not interested in heading to 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!
