Aerlingus AerClub/Avios

Yes it's for these reasons that I generally try and stay on BA metal all the way through if I can. I'm guessing you don't fly from Dublin hence the need to have an EI leg. The lack of integration seems very strange, particularly when it would usually mean cutting costs, they are very good at that. Though possibly there will be more movement in that direction in the coming year, with the integration of BA into T2 in Dublin, including the use of the (now really tatty) EI lounge.

BA integration goes live Dec 9th

Is there a weird invoicing structure with Plus fares?

I'm Concierge with AL, have been on 40+ flights so far this year. I was doing my expenses just now and went to the "Print Receipt" option under "My Trips". The amount shown on the receipt is different on two recent plus fares. When I rang the Concierge line, they gave me some garbled (to me at least) reasoning as to why this is how Plus fares are handled. They initially told me it was a flight change fee but backed down when I told them a) I don't get charged change fees and b) I didn't change the flights!

When I look at my email receipt there's a line item for "Extras".

I've never come across this before. Am I losing it or has AL changed something recently?!

WIth TC earning now rolled out for BA and AA for flights booked ticketed by both, does anyone know what the story is with AA flights which are booked through and ticketed by BA?

Thanks

I think the system actually checks who got on the plane. Basing that on there often being a delay applying them as Aer Lingus needs to wait for a foreign airport to send over the passenger list (whereas I presume they already have who checked in on their systems).

Just had a look there, the BA credit card offers 1 point per £1 spent. I wonder if the Aer Lingus one will do the same now from the 9th… Just in time for christmas

tier credits are non transferable so I doubt they will move across. You’ll have to call BA and hope for the best - i have noticed that if I put the Aer Lingus details in at booking, and then look at the booking on the BA app, it applies by BA details.

yeah - not disagreeing with you.

Did you use your BA status to access the lounge?

yeah, I’d say that’s what happened. Possible you are only allowed in on a valid BA ticket or something but it looks like whatever they did, moved the earning over to BA.

let us know how you get on!

When is EI stopping Cork to Amsterdam?

I mean I see reduced days for the evening flight from March on but the route seams to be bookable for the next 360 days!

Has anyone been able to transfer Avios to BA recently? When i try to use the combine my avios feature on BA it just says "Your session has timed out, please log in again" when attempting to input AerClub login details

Yes QR to BA working fine for me also. I don't believe the new AerClub rewards site has the functionality to transfer avios since the old avios site was taken offline? So the only way seems to be through BAEC?

Nope, I'm having the same problem.

The BAEC has a 'combine my avios' button and it has instructions on how to xfer from AerClub but it just keeps giving an error message

You can also transfer via British Airways Facebook chat. Converted avios from AerClub to ba last week
