Aer Lingus NYC-Dublin from $120 Each Way

You have to be ready to jump now, but this airfare sale from Ireland's Aer Lingus is hard to resist: I found a fare from New York to Dublin at $120 each way, plus plus for $309.90 total round trip. Unless I'm missing something, that's an awesome fare. Advertised sale fares to Dublin and Shannon from $155 out of New York and LA from $195 must be booked by February 24.

Once you get to Ireland, think about doing some Europe-hopping with budget European airlines, where fares can start at a couple of bucks one way plus taxes and fees.
