Aerlingus AerClub/Avios

yes, I’ve done that for both, it’s annoying as I’m getting close to Concierge (need 2 more trips, if I book Aer Space will get there, but the tier credits taking ages now is bugging me!)

Flew Saturday morning from a Dublin, and it was showing on my account at 9:05am 3 days later

Flew Tuesday evening from a EU outstation, (not on Astral) and it was showing on my account at 9:05am 2 days later

In both cases I checked in online

This is a fairly consistent pattern over the last few months

With reward flights as part of the aercard benefits it comes with a 10kg carry on

On the aercard website it says you can check these in

But on the main aer Lingus page it says they have to be carried on board

Have emailed them for clarity but nothing back yet

Has anyone experiences of this ?

We would rather check them in

I don’t find them consistent allocating tier credits recently. Flight three weeks ago, return leg credited ten days later, out bound still not. Flight last week, outbound credited in 24 hours, inbound 3 days later. Have filled in the form for the missing one at this stage…I’m flying next week also and once I get that missing one, should reach platinum so hope it is credited soon.

Curiously enough no

Still waiting for 2 flights (BA LCY to DUB and EI DUB to FRA) from late Jan/ early Feb and nothing back from missing credits form.

on the lounge, might be worth trying as it’s an EI ticket.

So not possible to use lounge in Dublin as an Aer Club silver member travelling on a BA flight booked on Aer Lingus. Just won’t book it again, Heathrow as handy anyway.

Yup it a strange one. Got to be Shamrock on the tail

If you are connecting through LHR onto a transatlantic BA/AA then you do have access thanks to the JV but only if Platinum or better

Make sure your name, email, DOB, phone and address match exactly on both accounts.

Good call out, that works

Can take a few attempts to get the page to load on the BA site but it works

So it's over a month since i applied for the Aerclub CC got a text from BOI saying its taking a lot longer than usual. So my question is the two fast track passes plus lounge passes are they a once off?

anyone know for sure if flights with BA can be credited towards AerClub? I’ve had a few booked via Aer Lingus and I’m 140 points off Platinum by April 1st so every little helps. I rang AerClub this week and they said they can see the flights flown but I’d have to contact BA. BA don’t seem to be as easy to get in contact with if you want to speak to someone in this area.

I’m still waiting for LCY DUB on BA from end of Jan (was business class flight) and put in missing tier credit form and no sign yet. Also about 150 points off next tier .. so bit annoying.

Yes, it is an included benefit that you should be able to use in dublin and Heathrow. Make sure to tell them your plans changed last minute and ask politely if you can travel earlier. If there are no Aerspace seats on the flight you want, you’ll be put in the back and won’t get a free sandwich. At locations other than Heathrow and Dublin, it’s hit and miss whether they’ll know how to put you on an earlier flight and you shouldn’t count on it working

I’ve often done it in LHR and managed to get home a flight earlier or whatever. Last week however I was travelling with someone who doesn’t have any AerClub membership at all and the woman at the desk wouldn’t let them on an earlier flight. First time I’ve ever been asked if I’ve membership doing that. Normally it’s a case of they have space on the aircraft or they don’t.
