Flight Experience
The A321LR cabin is arranged in 1-1/2-2 layout. Seats 3A, 3K, 5A, and 5K are solo seats that offer maximum privacy while the other rows allow couples to sit next to each other. It's the same layout as the older JetBlue Mint product.
Their Airbus A330 business class cabin is arranged in a 1-2-1/1-2-2 staggered layout. The throne seats provide the most space and storage.

Best Ways To Book
Aer Lingus or BA Avios: Great Option With Transferable Points
If you book with Avios, 50,000/60,000 Avios (off-peak/peak) from the east coast and Chicago is a great way to book. Even from out west, 62,500/75,000 Avios (off-peak/peak) could be a great way to book.
Given how easy it is to earn Avios, this will be the best option for many people.
The Qatar Airways 30% bonus on transfers from Citi makes this even better, as you'd only need:
- BOS/EWR/IAD/MSP/PHL/YYZ:
- Off-peak: 39,000 Citi points
- Peak: 47,000 Citi points
- DEN/LAX/SFO:
- Off-peak: 49,000 Citi points
- Peak: 58,000 Citi points
IMPORTANT: This transfer bonus is run by Qatar Airways. You won't see it reflected on Citi's site. Reports indicate that the bonus points have been added instantly. However, keep in mind that this could change.
Alaska Mileage Plan: Great Option, Tough To Earn
Alaska miles are a great way to book from the east coast at 45,000 miles a one-way with no surcharges. Fortunately, Bilt Rewards now gives us a useful transfer option that can make it easier to book with Alaska miles.
This could be a better option from the midwest and west coast on peak dates for Avios. You'll want to consider whether you have other uses for Alaska miles as they're tougher to earn.

How To Book
Here's how to run the search with Alaska:
- If you want to book a one-way, check "One-way"
- Check "Use miles"
- Enter your origin & destination
- Select your dates
- Select number of passengers
- Run the search
- Complete the booking
If you want to see a calendar of options or include a stopover (multi-city) search, you'll want to use this page.
Once you know the exact dates you want, you can run the search with the program you'll be using to book. As always, I recommend confirming the program you're using sees the award space before you transfer points.

Final Thoughts
If you're looking for a trip to Ireland (or somewhere else in Europe), this is a great option! Don't forget how tough it can be to find business class award space to Europe during the summer!
Happy Booking!
