Flights from Dublin to Los Angeles: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Dublin to Los Angeles 
TysaFlew with Aer Lingus-Sept 2026
Again if you can check in in advance online if you have checked baggage otherwise the counter can take a long time if priorities the only one open so show up early enough to accommodate that
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Apr 2026
If continuing from LAX on SkyWest, be prepared for a long walk followed by a bus transfer, and get your necessities before you leave the main terminal areas.
ShengFlew with Aer Lingus-Jan 2026
Aer Lingus agent booked us a 1-stop reservation via Air Canada to replace our original 2nd leg flight to LAX. I was surprised to discover the new trip only has the 2nd part in the Air Canada system, 1 day before the departure time. I spoke to the ticketing agent again, who really made her efforts to confirm a new reservation for our big group of travelers. I was not happy about the surprise, which can be of a very rare situation, while at the same time I do appreciate the agent's effort to help us get back home ASAP. Lesson learned: even with a printed itinerary, you still need to double check on the carrier website to be sure.
