Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using The Platinum Card® from American Express, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Norwegian Air is offering a four-day sale on flights to the Emerald Isle. Outbound flights from Providence/Boston (PVD) and New York Stewart (SWF) into Dublin (DUB), Shannon (SNN) and Belfast (BFS) begin at just $90, with return flights about $50 pricier starting at $144. The lowest rates are in Norwegian’s LowFare class, which doesn’t include checked bags or seat selection. LowFare+ tickets include both options and average $60 more each way. For NYC-based travelers, the Stewart Airport Express shuttle bus offers direct transportation from Manhattan for $20.

Norwegian was ranked the world’s best low-cost, long-haul carrier by air transport rating organization Skytrax, and TPG staff members have enjoyed previous trips with the airline on other routes. At this price point, this could be just the nudge you need to try out a new airline and a new destination.
