Aerlingus AerClub/Avios

It's +12 months irrespective of when you cross the threshold.

Fortunate enough to have Concierge Tier, they respond on this within 24 hours and are very helpful on our dedicated phone line so they can provide service when they want to - I have contacted them in email and phone within last month so these are current response times, not pre-covid.

I agree though that 20 working days to respond to a query is not acceptable in any business and especially when the query would likely relate to flights which are likely to be approaching.

If this is their step down in time between top and lowest tier members how long is the response to non Aer Club members!

I've Flown with them 4 times since Covid started. Two of Which were Avios funded and then one Amsterdam and one brussels. I think ill be using EI a lot more now seeing as KLM have gone so expensive from cork.

Yeah, got the same mail telling me that I'll stay at concierge .... but, with no benefits added i.e. TATL upgrades.

So if I was soft-landed down to Platinum, I think I'd have 1 upgrade, where as staying at concierge, I have none.

So I can't figure out whether I should be happy or pissed-off with this.

Not quite

Soft landing requires you meet the minimum requirements which is 4 EI flights for Plat and 2 for Sliver

Fairly shocking in this day and age, though that does seem to be an improvement; at one point it was 30 working days.

I’m silver status with BA Exec Club. I’m flying to Seattle in September with AL, booked directly AL by corporate travel agent and associated with my BA Exec Club account. Under the JVT just wondering if I’m entitled to use Fast Track & the 51st & Green lounge. According to Loungebuddy app it says I have access but would like to double check?

Presume no expansion of benefits for BA FF outside of London airports when flying intra-European flights on AL?

we’re travelling to Faro with Aer Lingus on Monday (assuming the flight isn’t cancelled🤞).

These are the “free” flights that we got through our AerCard. We also have lounge passes and fast track/priority boarding passes. I was hoping the fact that we have priority boarding would mean that we wouldn't have to drop off our 10kg bags at check-in, but when we checked in just now, it said that the bag would need to be dropped off unless we purchased “priority boarding and carry on bag”.

We were hoping to avoid the lengthy queues for bag drop and check in.

You may not even be able to add the carry-on as its an reward flight - I wasn't.

I’ve had 2 Aer Credit Card flights this year. The first said ‘no bag’, the second said ‘10kg cabin bag’. Both times I was able to drop a 10kg bag at the automatic bag drop no problem.

Question.... Do you get a free flight on the Aer credit card every 3500 spend or is it a once off?

Because I had toiletries and sun cream in it that I couldn’t bring through security. Plus I was flying from Cork where there was zero queue for bag drop

Aer Lingus IT is a permanent mess. The bookings section on the Aer Lingus website is based off the email address on the booking. The AerClub/Avios section is based off the AerClub number. So you should see all past flights that earned Avios in the Transactions option below your name in the top right.

For Qatar, open a Qatar Privilege account and use that number for your Qatar flight. Then you can use the Combine my Avios option on the Avios website to move your points.

Is the Avios site down? Having a nightmare getting my BA points moved to aerclub.
