I know it doesn't answer your question, but do you need to go through LHR?  On UA through DUB it's 30k OW +~$17.xx in fees.  Or Avios on EI for that matter.

I don't need to go through LHR.
I just thought that, that was my only option. I'll look into those routes. Much appreciated.
Unfortunately there is zero availability to DUB, on EI, from Boston, or NYC.

Just something to keep in mind:

On revenue tickets, it's usually cheaper to book RT inter-Europe then OW (Eg. OW = $400, RT = $150).

OJ's often work too, if you don't want to pay for the full RT.
