Book with Alaska Miles
This is the best deal overall. Alaska charges 60k miles each way any time of the year. Taxes & fees are low at ~$19 one-way or $70 roundtrip. You can also fly beyond Dublin to several European cities for the same 60k rate when booking with Alaska miles, including free stopovers in Dublin.
