FCO check in agent did not advise me. While LIN ones did.
Then in BA lounge they turned me away. But it was just 1 agent and I did not insist after not being able to get into anything in CDG. Maybe if I insisted they could let me in.

So I completed my first of two bookings a few weeks ago. First booking was from LAX to Tenerife. I wanted the longest flight from DUB to maximize mileage and TFS it was. Pricing was about $1100. Ive always wanted to go to the canary Island and TFS did not dissapoint. Rented a car a drove around the island for 4days. Great mileage run trip!

The TATL flights went well. DUB-TFS was rough. No inseat power, no entertainment, nothing. Didn't have any of my own movies downloaded, so it was rough =) . The jetlag helped a bit by making me fall asleep a bit. But the 4.5hr flight was long! TFS-Dub was a little better because I knew what to expect.

I start my second booking, FCO-SEA-FCO next week with some friends. Excited for that one too!

Thanks for the trip report, and the emphasis on how weak the EI product is for a long intra EU connection like that. I think the FCO-DUB route gets lots of love for the internationally configured planes, anything more than 2 hours seems hard to stomach, especially given that EI longhaul is not all that either.

Quick question on ticket validity for this fare: If I buy a ticket now for end of Nov 2025 FCO-DUB-LAX and return in Feb 2026, after flying the outbound in the end of November, what is the latest I can push a change for the return LAX-DUB-FCO to? Can I move it out to July 2026? I usually book and fly, so want to make sure I get this right.

Could you please show me the screenshot of how you put it into Matrix? Like do you just put, for example, FCO - SEA .... EI EI + f bc=i or you just put DUB - SEA and same code? Thank you!

Verified with the attached input. Availability is much more sporadic now than before.

Disappointed the code wasn�t �ei ei ow�.

Here you go. This will find working outbound dates! It's the fare these are booking into. Book at least 28 days in advance, so don't bother looking in early April.

In love with this fare!
No lie flat seats from FCO as it wasn�t the neo variant.
Hoping to snag another booking soon.

Just flew FCO-DUB-SEA today with the first leg in Y and I had no issues accessing the BA club in FCO after I advised the agent that I was a connecting J pax and showed her my two BPs.

I was not lucky despite saying the same thing to the agent.. Well done

that's annoying. I have the Aer Lingus site handy to show any agent which lounges out of DUB are eligible for customers.

How many days for the miles to show up?

I flew April 1st, and haven't seen anything credited yet with Alaska.

Thanks. I shall do the same next time

Had a flight from FL to FCO on this fare and had irrops. Oddly AA just took over the whole ticket and put me on their metal all the way (am ExPl). Was even able to tweak the routing to a slightly longer but better routing. Seems like if you have any AA or AS segments they are able to modify these pretty easily. Sadly this first flight was the only one I booked with an AA segment. Hopefully miles still post at 250% (partner booked via Alaska).
