Aer Lingus is running a business class sale from New York JFK, Newark and Boston. Prices start at $1999 roundtrip.
Aer Lingus has a strong business class product considering the short flights between the East Coast and Ireland.
You’ll find these sale fares available pretty much every day, all that’s needed is availability in discounted business class ‘D’ inventory.
For instance,
Key things to know about Aer Lingus fare basis DHSL17US:

Sadly it looks like they have not brought back the noon JFK-DUB for this coming summer. That was an amazing flight for redeyephobes like me.
I understand it’s to Europe and as mentioned, Dublin is a great launch point to the rest of Europe but $2000 for a 6.5 hour flight really isn’t much of a deal.
