Holy crap, guv1976, you are absolutely a genius!!! Yes indeed, you are 100% correct. It drops to just $88 for LHR-DUB and $303 for DUB-EWR. And it's the same amount of Avios! And I don't even think I need to stay an extra night, as there are plenty of flights out of LHR so I can just do both flights on the same day. THANK YOU!!!

The reason for the suggested overnight is that you will be traveling on separate tickets and thus are not connecting. If you no show for your onwards ticket, it will be cancelled and you will be required to purchase a new ticket which might only be at walk up cash fares. Think of the cost of a hotel and associated meals as travel insurance.

Transfers of Chase UR points or Amex MR points to BAEC count as "earnings." So, too, would earning a few Avios by taking a "Rewards for Thoughts" survey.

If you have earned even one Avios in your BAEC account in the past 12 months, you would be eligible to redeem for "Reward Flight Saver" awards on BA flights from LON to DUB: the cash component of an RFS redemption is 17.5 GBP per person, or about $48 USD for two.
