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).
Oooh. Thanks. I totally agree 1,000 Euro for a confirmed upgraded flight is a pretty good deal. Thanks that really is helpful. I didn't realize just how much I was being thrown off by looking at DUB-SFO.
Looking at BMI's prices I'm beginning to understand why the prices for latitude through to Dublin are so high though. BMI charges up to 500 Euro for a flexible return ticket DUB-LHR which honestly is pretty ridiculous for a 1h puddle hop. It makes a whole lot of sense to book an inflexible ticket for that leg.
