exDUB ILR28AP

Thanks to our_kid for spotting this one and posting about it yesterday.

For reference on the ILR28AP promotion exDUB.

Travel from inbound transatlantic sector must commence no earlier than the first Sunday after departure of the outbound transatlantic sector
This allows positioning for your inbound TATL prior to the Sunday. You can therefore set off from HNL on Friday night arriving in PHX on Saturday morning, do PHX-JFK during Saturday, have a night in NYC on Saturday night and then do your TATL on Sunday.

Travel from last stopover must commence no later than midnight 12 months after departure from fare origin.
Stopovers not permitted on the fare component
An overnight connection of up to 24 hrs between flights is allowed though.

2 transfers allowed per region in each direction, so 2 in Europe and 2 in the US each way.
Permitted
25 Jun through 22 Aug
23 Nov through 30 Nov
18 Dec through 04 Jan
28 Mar through 12 Apr
on the outbound transatlantic sector
Note that the travel dates have previously said on the first international sector. What this wording means is that you can do DUB-LON say on 17 December and do LHR-JFK on the 18 December being the first day of the allowed dates.

Reservations for all sectors are required at least 28 days before departure
I can’t see a sale end date in the fare rules so can’t advise on that.

Ticket is non-refundable.
Changes - Charge EUR 300.00 for reissue/revalidation… the change fee applies per transaction-per person for adult and child
//Changes Before Outbound Departure//
1. When the first fare component is changed the itinerary must be re-priced using current fares in effect on the date the ticket is reissued.

2. When there are no changes to the first fare component but other fare components are changed the itinerary must be re-priced using historical fares in effect on the previous ticketing date or using current fares in effect on the date the ticket is reissued-whichever is lower. The new itinerary must meet all the provisions of the newly ticketed fares.

//Changes After Departure//
The itinerary must be re-priced using historical fares in effect on the previous ticketing date. The new itinerary must meet all the rule provisions of the newly ticketed fares such that the recalculated fare could have been used for the new itinerary if purchased on the original ticket issue date.
Example prices (for December 2015):

HNL - €1,861 (£1,400)
LAX - €1,861 (£1,349)
SFO - €1,861 (£1,349)
LAS - €1,758 (£1,274)
ORD - €1,732 (£1,256)
JFK - €1,539 (£1,116)

Bear in mind that there is a BA DUB-LCY service which started in October 2014 and there is an early morning arrival in to LCY you can do a same day connection from DUB arriving at 0820 and connecting on to BA1 departing at 0945.

Any booking made before 28 April will earn 210 TPs on BA1-4, whilst any booking made after this travel date will only earn 140 TPs. I suspect this may be your last chance to book an exEU with the babybus at the existing TP rates.

There is also a AY DUB-HEL service starting in March 2015 and running until late October 2015 which you may be able to add in, so DUB-HEL-LHR/LCY-JFK- etc. DUB-HEL only gets 40 TPs as shorthaul+ is only exUK and the 80 TP rate would only apply to HEL-LHR. I haven't had much luck including a HEL connection without the price shooting up though.
