At about 5,170 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Dublin Airport (DUB), a nonstop runs roughly 10h55, give or take with the winds. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: Aer Lingus. Most award options in the data connect. Nonstops are just about 2% of the total.
Los Angeles–Dublin is a long-haul trip, so cabin choice shapes the whole booking. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on Aer Lingus costs more. Listed taxes on the cheapest economy seat, about $11, look incomplete for an international departure, so confirm the cash cost at checkout. Stepping up costs about 1.9 times the economy points for premium economy and about 2.7 times for business, though the cheapest business award carries heavy fees.
American AAdvantage wins economy at 21,000 points, premium economy at 40,000, and business class at 57,500. Watch the routing in premium economy and business class: it lands at Heathrow (LHR) and leaves from London City (LCY), both in London. Alaska Atmos Rewards' 70,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. United MileagePlus and Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles also price the route.
On points, the Los Angeles–Dublin nonstop belongs to Aer Lingus alone in the data. Beyond the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in London, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Helsinki. The business-class floor is a oneworld partner award: American AAdvantage prices British Airways seats.
Departing the Los Angeles area, Burbank (BUR) and Ontario (ONT) both start at 40,000 points in economy, above the route's 21,000-point economy floor, and work as backups when LAX space is gone. Orlando to Dublin is tracked too, from 12,000 points at last check. Check the departure airport code on the award before moving points.
