Cheapest Aer Lingus flight to NYC anyone ever got?

Looking at going to NYC, and in January can get a return flight to JFK for €318 (no bag, saver option).

I'm guessing this is as low as it would ever get? Anyone got to NYC for less?

Noxegon

€99 at one point, but not recently.

If you don't have bags, you might get something cheaper connecting through Reykjavik with Play.

Thanks. Ahh, think I will stick with the airport pre-clearance.

I saw €366 return not too long ago - €222 outbound through Manchester, and €144 direct return. This was Dublin.

Sure €320 is normal

I flew their successor, Norse Atlantic, from IAD to LGW last week in Premium Economy for $178 (~€160) one way.

€80 from Dublin

That was great bargain. It was an awesome long weekend away.

Cheapest I've got was €348, including luggage. Think I flew Delta that time.

Recently myself and my wife got paid the best part of 2 grand by Delta to not get on a flight from NY back to Dublin 😅 don’t think I’ll ever get a cheaper flight than that one.

Cheapest I ever got was in 2010 on UA DUB-EWR return for about €220 with bags. Even then the flight was only about half full.

€1280 for two returns, including a €400 fuel surcharge back in 2008 I think, was more expensive than our hotel for 8nights.

I did pay for DUB-SFO in business and SFO-DUB in economy (upgraded to business at check in due status at no cost...) for just under 1000 euro in 2017, even got seat 3K on the way over...

Booked SNN to JFK return back in 2016 and the day before we were due to depart they changed our flight to depart from DUB. So 3 passengers at a total of €1466 less the EC261 payment of 3x €600 meant Aer Lingus paid us €334 to fly with them!
