Checked those dates and can only see cheapest at €528 with Norwegian.

Am I using skyscanner wrong? Just put in those dates and London to Los Angeles

Should I start journey with Dublin?

Batesout

Yes , Dublin to LAX click one stop and your dates

Good price but I would expect fairly low fares on transatlantic travel originating in Europe in general next year with the current euro-dollar exchange rate compared to where its been in the past

Does baggage go whole way through or do u collect at London and check in for LAX there?

Baggage goes all the way through. Just make sure you leave enough time on the layover in Heathrow. You have to go through security again.

You can get Dublin - Philadelphia - LA and then LA - Heathrow - Dublin on the way back for €385. British Airways

Has added bonus of preclearing in Dublin. LA immigration queues can be a bit of a nightmare.

I paid €435 to go direct in March

We booked Dublin through Heathrow to San Francisco and return from Vegas through Philadelphia to Dublin(both return legs operated by American Airlines but sold as BA).

We paid €998 return direct to BA earlier today. Travel early June.

If you do go through skyscanner be careful of low fares with reputable sellers as one was cheaper than BA first off but was charging €26.14 fees for using a credit card. Paid zero fees with BA. Another ticket reseller had a clause saying it's €10 to speak to them after you make a payment and if you don't make the payment now it's €25 later on. Very weird.

Direct flights to New York from Dublin for under €300. You just need to play around with the dates.

Not quite under €400 but, flew DUB-LAX direct with Ethiopian Airlines May-June 2016 for €460 return. Couldn't vouch more for great service and no preclearance didn't make an ounce of difference, took only a few mins to clear in LAX - alot quicker than the last time I precleared in Dublin with AL

Bit of a generalisation there - I've experienced good & bad in LAX.

You can use the CBP's own tool to approximate wait times at any given port of entry.

Is there no pre-clearance on this route?

No as it comes through Dublin towards New York so you can't clear in Dublin because they can't offload the passengers already on board so they can't land in a domestic terminal stateside.

We are flying to LAX at end of January. Flights from Cork via LHR with British airways were €440 each return. We live very near the airport in Cork so this route suits us plus no hidden charges and clearance in LAX is quite quick. Sometimes the low cost flights end up costing more when you factor in luggage etc so watch out for that.

That was also a plus from Dublin direct for us, Ethiopian includes 2 x 23kg bags free each. No messing about having to pay for bags Dub-UK.
