??? Have you even tried ac.com for the dates you highlight??
Because the answer is right there.......

R/T DUB-SFO Depart Apr. 11th, return Apr. 25th
€2012.52
For all flight options, so you can tailor make your pick of flights that you want.

However, if you do the booking as LHR-SFO only, you'll drop the cost in half to about€1 000, and then just do the DUB-LHR segments as a separate Y round trip.

So no, that is NOT ridiculous. If you want your whole trip on one itinerary and PRN, then €2012.52 for a confirmed time of purchase up grade to J is a freakin' steal.......considering the Z fare is €3085.52 and the full J fare is €8000+ Euro. If you are flexible and can split it into two PRNs, then €1 000 is a freakin' steal x 100!!!

So you've been given a lot of helpful information - if you're not able to book on AC.com because of corporate policy, that might be problematic. But if you can, there are several options that will get you into J for your round-trip, immediately at the time of purchase, for a cost of €1000-2000 depending on how you book your DUB-LHR segment (I did the booking as if I was based in Ireland).

I would indeed be happy to pay those prices for a confirmed upgrade or to pay if the upgrade clears. I'm just not happy paying it and not getting anything.

As far as I can see a Latitude fare would be 3,000 Euro which is just ridiculous. How do I find these 1,400$CDN latitude fares Shareholder points out?
