> Pointify's analysis of Aer Lingus AerClub Avios redemptions on US-Dublin routes, with focus on the Boston gateway.

Aer Lingus AerClub operates a distance-based Avios chart that produces 25,000-37,500 Avios each way for US-Dublin business class — among the cheapest transatlantic published rates in 2026. Boston-Dublin is the strongest specific corridor.

## Aer Lingus AerClub Avios chart

Distance-based award pricing for US-Dublin (round numbers):

- **Boston-Dublin (~3,000 miles):** 13,000 Avios economy / 25,000 Avios business each way
- **JFK-Dublin (~3,200 miles):** 13,000 Avios economy / 31,250 Avios business each way
- **ORD-Dublin (~3,650 miles):** 25,000 Avios economy / 37,500 Avios business each way
- **LAX-Dublin (~5,200 miles):** 35,000 Avios economy / 62,500 Avios business each way
- **SEA-Dublin (~4,800 miles):** 25,000 Avios economy / 50,000 Avios business each way

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:

- **Under 3,500 nautical miles** = lowest distance band
- **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.

## How to transfer Avios into AerClub

AerClub uses the same Avios pool as British Airways + Iberia + Qatar + Vueling. Transfer paths:

## Connecting onward from Dublin

Aer Lingus Dublin connections benefit from US Customs preclearance — clear US Customs at Dublin departure, arrive in US as a domestic passenger. The reverse: arrive in Dublin without re-clearing customs from many EU destinations.

Onward connections from Dublin on AerClub:

- London Heathrow / Gatwick — multiple daily
- Paris CDG — multiple daily
- Amsterdam — multiple daily
- Munich, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome — multiple daily
- Most European Aer Lingus destinations from Dublin

Aer Lingus + Avios is one of the most flexible Oneworld carriers for European connections via Dublin.

## Award space and booking strategy

Aer Lingus saver award space patterns:

- Loads at +331 days
- Last-minute releases at -7 to -3 days are uncommon (Aer Lingus is consistent at +331)
- Stronger saver space: October-March; weakest in June-August peak

For travelers in the Northeast, Boston-Dublin business via Aer Lingus at 25,000 Avios + $200 + return is the cheapest published US-Europe business class redemption available in 2026.
