Yeah, I've been trying to book this Ireland trip and my head is spinning. This will be our first international trip, first trip with positioning flights, first time booking an award trip. My wife has off June through the first half of August due to summer break from her school, but I'm so overwhelmed with flights, hotels, logistics, what to even do in Ireland. It's crazy. And to top it off we're trying to use the most points as possible because we couldn't afford it any other way.

The DEN-BOS flights are all 8+ hours with long layovers for connecting flights, longer than the DUb flight. If I fly UA how much time should I build in before the DUB flight? On the return we were going to stay a few days in BOS so interlining won't matter. Really wish the UA nonstop flights to BOS had some availability.
