Quick take: Aer Lingus business class is a great transatlantic option — award space is plentiful, taxes and fees are low, and flights departing Ireland to the U.S. include customs and immigration preclearance.
However, Aer Lingus does have plenty of airline partners, including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and United Airlines. Plus, its AerClub loyalty program even uses Avios as its currency — just like British Airways, Finnair, Iberia and Qatar Airways do.
What's more, the taxes and fuel surcharges when flying to or from Dublin are much lower than those of many other European airports, and especially compared to London.
