Yes, though it is cheaper, 328.33€, which is £286.41 return. You are looking for fare basis OLN7T1B4 until 31 October. Travel can be until March 2024 but this fare basis expires in November. It may get renewed. It's available to a range of other USA locations, including ORD and BOS. You need to find BA flights with booking class O available, Point of Sale Ireland, though for some reason the DUB-LON section is in S but that's widely available. Saturday Night Rule. I did buy this a few days ago, the credit card came in at £283 thanks to Forex rate shifting. This compares to my cheapest Atlantic fare, which was with the late and largely unlamented WOW air, EDI-KEF-BOS of £239 in 2018, which is £297 TVM (after baselining for inflation).

The cheapest UK departing NYC is currently £385, but generally requires outbound as LGW-JFK. It's unbothered about the return. This has been a long term low fare, give or take £20.
