*A airline from Ireland (west coast) to BCN?
I need to get from the west coast of Ireland to Barcelona in July. Airports from which I can depart are DUB, GWY, and ORK.
My dates are flexible from July 7 on-wards. I will stay in BCN 5-7 days.
Ideally, I prefer to fly *A but I'm having trouble finding credible fares.
The cheapest *A fare I can find is €1,350 on LH through FRA.
By comparison, the cheapest oneworld fare I can find is €300 on BA through BHX outbound and LGW on the return. A fare difference of €1,000 is a huge gap!
Even cheaper are bucket airlines like BMIbaby for around €100 round-trip.
Surely *A must have cheaper fares. Can anyone suggest an alternative routing/*A airline or am I destined to fly oneworld?

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.

Not sure if Spanair flies this route, but they are now a member of *A and will probably have cheaper flights.
