StrategyNew York–Dublin runs over six hours in the air, long enough that the cabin shapes the whole booking. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on any of the three carriers at a higher price. Watch the cash on the economy floor: about $183 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so more points and less cash can win. The middle step, premium economy, costs about 2.5 times economy; business costs about 3.8 times.
