Its return. Bargain!

Cheers OP just booked a return one for November.

i am guessing this is just one way? Why guess when you could check for yourself? (Spoiler alert, you guessed wrong!) ;)

I'm assuming this is good the other way around, SFO-DUB or if it isn't, that would explain why there aren't a flood of posts yet....

Yeah I was thinking the same

If you're seeing flights on EI in W that earns no miles on UA.

Great find, such a shame DUB is a faraway and expensive airport to reach from most of continental Europe...

Does not seem to work in reverse....

Huh? How about Ryanair and Airlingus?

Thanks OP. Just booked one. 12/2 DUB-EWR-SFO.

Needed a cheap one way from Europe. Will use the return SFO-EWR on a trip to New York.

For others in Europe who are interested, you can fly to DUB for cheap on Ryanair.

100/140 euros for a r/t from anywhere in Italy to Dublin, which is a shame

Actually Ryanair Milan Bergamo - DUB $45-50 OW

way better than the cheapest existing fares from IT at $900+

Any particular reason for assuming that ?

Actually only slightly more to LAX.

Does not seem to work in reverse....

Well, then that's a deal killer for most...

Shouldn't this say "UA: DUB-SFO € 368" since the fares are ex-EU?

great fare! thanks :)

Not everybody lives in the USA you know. In fact, most people don't ;):D

Is it really?

Agreed, this is a fantastic fare! Thanks for posting. Ryanair London to Dublin can be done for £15 each way :)

Is it really?


Let's be honest, 100 euros for a r/t on either Ryanair or Aer Lingus. Thanks but no thanks.

DUB - EWR - DUB also available for £271 (approx €340). Good fares also to ORD, LAX, LAS, SNA, BOS, ATL etc etc.

T fare
MPM 6375
A good routing
DUB-JFK (overnight)-SEA-SFO
Sun min stay

Actually only slightly more to LAX.

51 euros is a lot more in terms of CPM.

Unlike domestic fares, international fares are rarely the same in reverse.

Intl fares are not bi-directional. It's DUB-SFO, and that's it.

Is one short hop on FR or EI very much worse than a transatlantic + transcontinental on UA :confused: ?

Incidentally formerly BMI now BA fly from LHR to dub daily and are not usually much more expensive than LCC's.

best way to book/research still seems to be via flybmi.com or ba.com as ITA still does not show these fares correctly.

Em...would quibble with the fare, as can often be done a whole lot cheaper. But also pointing out that it is a bit silly to suggest Dublin is "far away". All of these things are relative.

Actually only slightly more to LAX.

Lowest on UA from LAX thru end of year I find is $834?? Thanks and Safe Travels

only works one way DUB-USA not reverse. last check SFO-DUB was in the 750-850 neighborhood on the best days for the fall season.

The fare is only ex-Dublin!

I see DUB-LAX for $484 on various dates in November.

You're right, sorry about that. I forgot that it's a quite long route, not even such a bad price given the distance involved.

I find DUB one of the cheapest 'hub/main' airports to reach, thanks to FR

... and remember - leaving from DUB means no lines at immigration when you arrive - I'm not sure how much people value that option (I guess it depends where you are entering the US) but it's really nice not to have that 'wonderful' queue to look forward to when you arrive.

I value it greatly. It makes tighter connections possible and much less stressfull.

The only downside is that preclearance can get quite busy during the morning period and there is a shortage of facilities in the gate area beyond the border area.

No checked luggage I assume.

Of course carry on only. UA does not short check baggages.

Many thanks to the OP for sharing, I have booked ones of these bargains.^

SNN-SFO r/t can be had on UA for £296 return (approx €365). Can you still pre-clear US immigration in Shannon?

Yes, but not customs, like in DUB.

Are there GE machines at DUB?

It's actually closer to YHZ than YVR is.

I think the reference was to C2-based posters considering DUB as a 'faraway' point to start a trip to C1W from.
