BA/AA launched a new fare sale from Dublin last week and it appears that AA is matching. Of course the fare is not much use with United’s new earnings regime, nor is it as attractive as the super Danish deal that United refunded. But, if you are look for PQM’s or miles toward Million Miler…

There is little choice of lounge at Terminal 1 in Dublin, and so most airlines and memberships use the DAA Executive Lounge. You can see a list of which airlines provides access. There is a choice of food most of the day.
Hotel Review: Conrad, Dublin
The Conrad Dublin offered a EUR69 upgrade to a one bedroomed suite – too good a chance to miss. This review provides details of the room, their breakfast for HHonors members and room service. A property I recommend when in Dublin.
Signs you don’t want to see in an airport lounge
