You can currently buy business class tickets for a Dublin – New York nonstop roundtrip in Delta‘s business class for only €1,333. SkyTeam partner KLM sells these cheap tickets on its website. This price is available for trips in late 2023. These tickets include 2 pieces of hand baggage (total of 18 kg) and 2 pieces of checked luggage (32 kg each). You’ll also receive all SkyPriority benefits – as usual in business class.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to KLM with your chosen flight dates.
The flights are operated by Delta with a Boeing 767. You don’t, however, necessarily have to fly nonstop. You can also add a layover – but unless you are looking to earn some extra miles, the nonstop flight definitively seems to be the better option.
Nonstop flights from Dublin to the USA are especially attractive because you can benefit from US border preclearence, saving you lots of time upon arrival in America.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, the discounted nonstop fares are not connected to a sales period. They are likely on sale until sold out. You have to stay one night from Saturday to Sunday in the USA to get the lowest price. The lowest price shows up for departures in October, November and December 2023.
You can find additional dates on Google Flights and then book directly on a carrier’s website, like KLM.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are three main reasons for that:
- The Covid-19 Pandemic
During the worldwide outbreak of Covid-19, planning international travel got more and more risky because of ever-changing restrictions. In contrast to many online travel agencies, most airlines modified their terms & conditions to become more customer friendly. Rebooking conditions are eased, change fees are waived and cancellations are much easier when there is no third party involved.
Further, by adding an OTA to your plans, you increase the risk of one service provider involved going bankrupt. Now, the airline and the online travel agency involved could vanish along with your money. - Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward you information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. You may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong. - Baggage Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are more and more common. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
Mileage
The flights are issued in booking class Z, which should get you roughly:
- 15,316 Kilometers on China Eastern Eastern Miles
- 12,684 Award Miles + 200 Tier Miles on Virgin Atlantic Flying Club

Information & Tips for USA
The USA offers many sights, natural wonders and cultural significance. Thanks to numerous airlines offering flights across the Atlantic, it is always pretty inexpensive to get there. Alternatively, you can also cross the Atlantic by boat.
Immigration, ESTA & Visa Requirements
The USA has one of the strictest entry regulations in the world. Most EU citizens, among others, are lucky to be able to participate in the so-called Visa Waiver Program. If you get an electronic entry permit (ESTA) for approximately €20, you don’t need a visa for entry.
The Best Time to Visit
Due to its sheer size, the perfect time to visit the USA varies greatly from region to region. In winter, Florida is very popular due to the mild temperatures. In the summer the West and East Coasts are flooded by tourists which drives up the prices for hotels and flights and during the Indian Summer in late autumn New England is a very popular destination. The hurricane season between July and September can be dangerous in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida and the southern states are regularly struck by these tropical storms. Blizzards occur from the East Coast to the Midwest during the winter months and regularly put air traffic and public life on hold.
Currency
The US dollar is widely used throughout the world and accepted as a currency in most tourist hotspots worldwide. That being said, carrying cash isn’t necessary in the US, all you need is a credit card! These are very common in the USA and are accepted pretty much everywhere without any issues. If you already have a credit card in your wallet, you should make sure that it does not charge a foreign currency fee if possible. Carrying a few dollars in cash doesn’t hurt though. You might need cash e.g. for the bus ticket if you want to buy it directly from the driver. Most of the time you even have to give exact change.

From the airport to the city
New York City is served by three commercial airports: John F. Kennedy Intl. Airport in Queens (probably the most famous), Newark Intl.

Sorry my mistake. It’s the LATAM a350 on the Dublin to Atlanta route, not the New York 767.
These aren’t the usually delta seat but thee are planned to use a sub fleet of ex LATAM 767’s with a 2-2-2 configuration
