There are some cracking business class flights direct from Dublin to New York knocking about for July and August for £720, a bargain for the peak time on the A330 lie flat seats.
Flights are bookable through Air France or Delta website for £727, slightly cheaper available if you choose not to go direct but partly operated by Aer Lingus so better to go direct. Ideal for mileage runs or for those that don't mind travelling to Dublin first.
Also some fares on United.com for fares business class to NY for £707.

Orlando even cheaper - posted it as separate deal (not direct though).
Interestingly, for around the same period flights from Manchester to NY are around £600 with Turkish Airlines and from London are around £500 with Ukraine Airlines and upwards with Norweigan and luggage extra with Norweigan. Makes these seem quite cheap in comparison, depending on whether you see going from Dublin as a chore or opportunity!

We did Orlando BA business class August 2014, which was cheaper than premium economy for precisely the same flight!

Belfast is though.... I didn't start a new thread though as I didn't want to have multiple business class deals. Thanks for posting that comment though, very helpful.

Business class on United or Delta really isn't worth it.

I guess when it's the same price (or cheaper) than economy in some cases it is!

I've flown business on United, Delta, Lufthansa, Virgin & Air Canada and United is my favourite.
In general, at regular prices (4x cost of economy), I don't see the value in flying business class but at this price it's a no brainer.

US Immigration at Dublin are a whole lot more pleasant than in the US. Same in the Bahamas.
