Nonetheless, there was no line to check-in when we arrived approximately two hours before our flight and we were through security within 15 minutes of our arrival at the airport. Located smack dab in the middle of the terminal, the two Aer Lingus check-in agents were of the opposite personalities, one was extremely friendly while the other one was curt, she really didn’t seem like she wanted to be there. We checked in online but we had to drop our bags off at the Aer Lingus desk in Toronto Pearson Terminal 3.

The booking process was quick and easy and the two tickets, which include luggage, from Toronto to Dublin cost 40,000 Avios points plus 179.32 (or 20,000 Avios plus $89.66 each). The phone number for British Airways Executive Club is 1 (800) 452-1201 and they are open from 07:30-20:00 EST. Once you have found dates, you need to phone to book. In general Aer Lingus seems to release 4 seats on each plane. To look for award ticket availability, use United’s “ book with miles” function to find specific dates.

Business class flights cost 50K/60K for off peak and peak redemptions).Ģ6,000 Avios points can easily be earned by first year free cards like the RBC Infinite Avion, or spending $1500 on the American Express Gold card (which can be obtained for free through programs like Perkopolis or EServus of which registered teachers are a member of).
Even better, these flights are only 13,000 Avios points (per person each way) during off-peak times (defined by Aer Lingus here). This route is frequently touted as one of the best deals for economy class flights across the point at 20,000 Avios points (per person each way) during peak season. Booking using AviosĪer Lingus is owned by IAG, the sixth largest airline in the world, which means the flights are also available using British Airways Avios points. That being said, United Miles are hard to earn as a Canadian, so I decided to go for another option.
During the summer, there are three flights a day to Dublin leaving Toronto, Aer Lingus EI 128, an A330 departing at 17:30, Air Canada 842, a mainline A330 departing at 23:05 and Air Transat 332, an ancient A310 departing at 23:50 (this plane is so ancient that they’re the last scheduled operators in the western world, the average age of these planes is over 27 years old!).īooking these flights are not cheap in the summer, especially when flying one way.Īer Lingus flight 128 is also 30K United Miles plus $41.
The route between Toronto and Dublin has become quite competitive since I spent a semester abroad at the University College Dublin. Flight: Aer Lingus EI128 Origin: Toronto (YYZ) Destination: Dublin (DUB) Operated by: Airbus A330 Class: Aer Lingus Economy Departure Time: 17:55 Booking I’ve flown them a few times before, but never on this Toronto flight, so I was excited to start this trip off with a review of one of the cheapest award redemptions to Europe and an airline that frequently has sub $400 roundtrip Toronto to Dublin fares.

Aer Lingus is positioned in the marketplace as a low-cost full service carrier (or a Value Hybrid Airline), comparable to WestJet and TAP Portugal. Finally, we were off on our European adventure! To start our two week trip I’ll be reviewing our flight on the pride of Ireland (at least compared to Ryanair), Toronto to Dublin on Aer Lingus.
