DL, AF, KL: DUB - BOS $1485 J RT Nonstop, AI
tl;dr: Dublin to Boston or JFK, DL metal, but ticketed as AF, KL, or a combo. To prevent CC fee, book using Paypal.
I am doing a bunch of traveling to London this summer, so I bought a one-way to Gatwick, and have been operating on reverse round-trips since. I was watching the flights exiting Inverness, and just yesterday this bad boy popped up from Dublin. It's on the 757, but it's still a fine product for such a short flight. You can also route via JFK for the 767. Crazy low considering it's wide open all summer.
Some were ticketed as a combo of AF and KL. That leaves me with the q: where should I credit? I want to credit to JL for use before the devaluation, but only AF can credit there, so I am at a bit of a loss.
Also of note is Dublin does US pre-clearance, which is pretty clutch when flying home from London.

This is a bog-standard fare for Ireland to the East Coast. This type of fare is available many times during the year, and you'll often find other origins in Europe that have fares not that much higher for summer travel.

Blows my mind anyone would buy a ticket originating in the states then! Definitely better off transiting to Europe once and flying reverse.
