StrategyWith over six hours in the air on Boston–Dublin, settle the cabin first; the right program follows from it. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on any of the three carriers at a higher price. The economy floor's $182 in taxes and fees is the catch, well above the route's typical economy taxes; more points and less cash can come out ahead. Stepping up costs about 2.5 times the economy points for premium economy and about 3.8 times for business.
