[Award Alert] East Coast to Dublin, Ireland, in JetBlue Mint From 60k Miles

We have found some exceptionally cheap business-class award fares to Dublin departing a pair of East Coast cities for the summer and fall of next year.

Starting at 60,000 miles plus taxes and fees, you can hop over to Ireland in the swanky lie-flat JetBlue Mint Suite. That means you’ll be flying with JetBlue, but you’ll save a ton of miles by booking with a different airline.

Let’s take a look at the details and the best ways to book.

Award Deal — Details

If you’re looking for a cheap award seat to Ireland at the front end of the plane, then this is about as good as it gets.

On multiple dates in the summer and early fall of 2025, you can fly across the ocean to the Irish capital for as little as 60,000 Etihad Guest miles plus $32 in taxes and fees each way. Other award programs can sometimes charge this amount for seats in economy!

This deal has you flying with JetBlue in its premium Mint Suite product. Here are the specifics of the fares:

• Class: Business
• Routes: Boston (BOS) and New York-Kennedy (JFK) to Dublin (DUB) nonstop on JetBlue
• Dates: June to September 2025
• Fares: 60,000 Etihad Guest miles plus $32 taxes and fees

The best availability is out of Boston (BOS), which is also the cheapest option. However, availability is fantastic out of New York City (JFK), as well, and costs 80,000 miles per person.

Best Ways To Book

The cheapest price is paying 60,000 miles per person between Boston and Dublin. You’ll also pay $32 in taxes and fees.

Considering that JetBlue’s own TrueBlue program is charging over 165,000 points for this same flight, you’re saving over 60% by booking with Etihad Guest instead.

The Etihad Guest website isn’t great for searching numerous dates and routes at once. However, you can use a site like Seats.aero to search a range of dates and routes at once to help you find availability.

Using a travel credit card that will reward you for booking flights is a good idea not just when buying a cash flight. Many of those cards offer travel protections that will cover your expenses in the event of a delay or cancellation. Using one to pay the taxes and fees on an award ticket will trigger those protections, in case you need them.

You also should use a card that rewards you for airfare purchases when it’s time to pay the taxes and fees on award tickets. For example, The Platinum Card^® from American Express earns 5x points per $1 spent on flights when booked through the AmexTravel.com portal or directly with the airline (up to $500,000 of these purchases annually, then 1x points). That includes the taxes and fees you would pay on an award seat. Plus, these Membership Rewards can transfer to Etihad Guest to help you make more award bookings in the future.

Other programs that transfer to Etihad Guest include Capital One miles and Citi ThankYou Rewards at a 1:1 ratio and Marriott Bonvoy at a 3:1 ratio. Earning rewards with any of these programs can help boost your Etihad Guest account.

Final Thoughts

Summer and early fall can be a great time to visit Ireland. If that sounds nice, Etihad Guest has great availability to help you fly there in style and comfort, paying as few as 60,000 miles per person to fly in JetBlue Mint Suites. We don’t expect this availability to stick around long, so booking soon is a good idea.
