Why take a shuttle up to BOS when you can just take BA from New York? BA also flies from JFK and from EWR.
All BA flights would involve a connection in London.

I suspect that
midnightinharlem meant to say: "Use BA Avios to fly
EI from BOS to DUB." Since Avios uses a distance-based scheme, BOS-DUB -- which is just under 3,000 flown miles -- costs only 12,500 Avios one way in Economy, or 25,000 Avios one way in Business. By contrast, JFK-DUB on EI would cost 20,000 Avios one way in Economy, and 40,000 Avios one way in Business. But either EI routing requires fewer miles (Avios) than the alternatives available to the OP. And, as noted in my earlier post, BAEC surcharges on EI TATL flights are minuscule.
