The Boston gateway specifically benefits from the under-3,500-mile band that prices business at 25,000 Avios.
The Boston advantage
Boston-Dublin is unique because:

- Daily nonstop Aer Lingus service
- Award space is consistent — Aer Lingus releases 4-6 saver business seats on most flights
- Carrier surcharges are moderate at $150-$300 round-trip
JFK-Dublin pricing at 31,250 Avios is also strong but slightly higher.
