Aer Lingus currently has wide open business class saver award space from now through the end of scheduling on several routes, including Boston, Cleveland, JFK, and Newark to Dublin and other European cities.
There are many ways to book travel on Aer Lingus.
You can use 50K BA Avios one-way off-peak or 60K BA Avios peak, but you won’t want to do that due to fuel surcharges:
Rather you can join the Aer Lingus AerClub here and redeem points for Aer Lingus flights on Avios.com with low surcharges. If your browser errors out using Avios.com, just go here to start again. You may need to logout and back in again.
Off-peak peak awards are 50K Avios, while peak awards are 60K Avios:
You can also use 82K United miles with no fuel surcharges.
United’s legacy award calendar is also the best way to search for availability, no matter how you’ll book the Aer Lingus tickets.
Avios.com is blocking availability from Cleveland, though you can try calling Aer Lingus to book, or you can use United miles or BA Avios:
Will you book any award travel on Aer Lingus?

Can you get to Eretz Yisroel using Air Lingus?
No but soon they will have El Al from Dublin so could be a good stopover spot and then continue with El Al.
@Dan- I thought Aer Lingus could be booked with JB points? Does that not work anymore?
After joining Aer Lingus, can you transfer BA Avios into your new account? Or do you transfer them in from Chase? Or both?
Both work.
Is avios.com the awards platform from air lingus?
Dan, is there a way to do using Jet Blue? I think they are partners….
Dan, any way to access using jetblue points?
Front of the plane BOS-DUB is a waste of points. Last time I flew Aer Lingus from BOS in coach, the flight lasted 4 hrs 15 mins. 13k avios and about $110. That flight was over an hour less than transcontinental flights.
Dan,
I noticed an interesting thing, united may have access to a partner airline I class inventory when you can’t find it on any other airline of star alliance. I have even booked such awards. does anybody know why? I have seen this when there are 2 flights involved 1 flight is available to all *a partners and the second only to united.???
@Dan
Can I log in to Avios with my BA login Info or I have to create a separate log in for Avios?
Separate login.
Aer Lingus is refusing to reinstate avios.com miles on cancellations saying it is a “3rd party” booking. This has been a fight for a couple months. Avios.com needs to have a cancellation policy or IAG needs to step in.
