In case you missed it, points deals are now LIVE on Daily Drop Pro, and we’re already seeing some sweet award drops.
You can currently book a one-way business-class flight from New York (JFK) to Dublin (DUB) for as little as 45k points — and you’ll be flying lie-flat on an Airbus A330.
Yes... lie-flat. I’m not joking.
And even better news? We’re actually seeing deals in the 45k to 60k-point range from several airports, such as Dulles, Virginia (IAD), Orlando (MCO), Toronto (YYZ), Minneapolis (MSP), and more. Be sure to check your home airport (and surrounding airports) for possible deals to Dublin.
Whether you're heading to Ireland for the gazillion-and-one cliffs, a crisp Guinness, or just some cooler weather, this is a great way to kick off your trip.

Why This Deal Is Amazing
Business-class flights to Europe usually cost well over 200k points round-trip and even more if you’re booking close to peak summer season.
But here, you're looking at around 45k to 60k points one-way, which is an incredible value — up to 6.62 cents per point if booking through Alaska Mileage Plan.
That’s a fancy lie-flat seat to Dublin for what many people pay for a domestic economy ticket!
And, Aer Lingus offers nonstop service and solid business-class flights with direct aisle access, nice bedding, and pretty solid food and drinks.
💡 Pro Tip: You can actually transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to Hawaiian Airline miles and use those on Alaska Airlines to book these deals.

Pro Tip
Summer is one of the best times to visit Dublin, with longer days and milder temperatures. If you can, build in a few extra days to explore outside of Dublin. Spots like Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, and Kilkenny are easy day trips by train or car.
Just be sure to book soon since both flights and hotels tend to fill up fast during peak travel months.
