Throughout the flight itself, she was friendly, professional and prompt. Despite the fact that she'd worked for Aer Lingus for 20 years, she mentioned (when we chatted) that this was just her second time working on this particular aircraft. The small business-class cabin was served by one flight attendant, but she was all that was needed.

There wasn't anything special about the business-class bathroom. In the end, I burned 70,000 United MileagePlus miles for this one-way business class flight since I was booking a more complicated route on such short notice. However, I needed to keep going to Berlin once I got to Dublin on this trip, so I needed to book flights all the way through to TXL. Using the Asia Miles distance-based chart, the nonstop flight from IAD-DUB costs just 45,000 miles. An even better option is to use Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, which is a transfer partner of Amex Membership Rewards, Citi Thank You Points and Starwood Preferred Guest. (IAD) to DUB cost 50,000 British Airways Avios to fly one-way in business class on off-peak dates - or 60,000 Avios one-way on standard dates. One of the best options is to use British Airways Avios for nonstop flights between the US and Ireland - although Aer Lingus "moved" Boston (BOS) and Dublin (DUB) further apart in order to charge higher redemption rates, you can still book flights with British Airways Avios using off peak rates, which opens up a slew of new sweet spots to choose from. Bookingīecause Aer Lingus isn't technically part of a major airline alliance - although it might re-join Oneworld soon - there are several ways to book award flights. While the airline installed the same seats on its A330s and 757s, only the 757s offer the opportunity for four smart/lucky passengers to end up with a "throne" seat in their own row on a flight across the Atlantic thanks to the aircraft's staggered (1-1 / 2-2) lie-flat seating arrangement. Ever since the new Aer Lingus business-class product was announced last year, we've been looking forward to testing it out.
