But as SuperKirby wants transfer my MR points over to Qantas Aer Lingus will not a QF ffp option
SuperKirby needs to find saver availability on AA then may be able to use QF points (& surcharges?) for a QF award
Or better still, transfer from MR into a better ffp

That prices at 28,000 QF points and €141.61 (EUR) one way in economy. No idea if that includes checked luggage
What is the cash price?

$3564 (US $ or other currency ?) is far too much for a one way Ireland USA flight down the back of the bus
A return flight may be cheaper or try another airline

Um - Yes it is - Until 1st July 2019 , Aer Lingus is a FF partner and redemption bookings can be made on it for travel until end June 2020

Aer Lingus is an obvious choice imo since it flies directly from Dublin to USA especially since its taxes the journey are only about €80 with its fares-disguised-as-taxes being ( in economy) €18 vs €100 on AA and , in business, €18 vs €151

Total taxes in business is approx €80 vs €211 and €80 vs €160 in economy

A lot cheaper to use Aer Lingus than AA and why the question on airline being used was very impotant


If booking a ticket using cash, €927 is there with EI

I couldn't find availability on Aer Lingus' website (through Avios.com). Do I call them for award bookings?
