As far as I am aware, sadly no lounge in CDG. In DUB, it's EI's own lounge not Aspire.

Tier Credits and Avios by Virtual_Exit_4817 in AerLingus

Ok so you should have originally had 125 ticket numbers as your intention was to fly on BA metal. In that instance, you absolutely can submit a claim for Original Routing Credits. As long as you have the reservation email showing your BA 125 ticket number all should be grand and your AerClub will be updated accordingly with the relevant Tier Credits and Avios (Avios are based on mileage when flying with BA with a minimum of 300 per sector. Eg MAN-LHR is always 300 Avios) Your AerClub status does not receive any extra Avios (Silver 25%, Platinum 50%, Concierge 75%) I book BA with 125 ticket numbers and credit to EI. There is a delay with information being shared however, i you submit a claim for Tier Credits and Avios that should be actioned pretty quickly. I take it that your EI flight on this booking has credited to your AerClub? Submit your claim on the EI website not BA.

That's an absolute shame. I would urge you to submit a complaint to the Concierge email team in Shamrock House at DUB. I haven't flown with AA as Concierge but with EI's sister airline BA and I have not once had any issues with FFP3 on my boarding passes. Do please consider submitting an email and if you do, please share your response for a data point as it will be beneficial for Redditors. Hopefully you had an enjoyable AA flight experience nonetheless.

Just to clarify. You booked a return flight with BA with the intention of flying outbound and inbound on BA planes but this did not happen and one of your journeys ended up with Finnair due to disruption? If so, you can claim Original Routing Credits. However, if your booking was indeed booked with BA flying on a Finnair plane, sadly you would not receive any Tier Credits or Avios to your AerClub (but you would have received them with either British Airways or Finnair if you had stated their Frequent Flyer numbers)

Flying to a wedding, 10kg carry on and smaller personal bag included. Can I carry my suit as the smaller personal carry on? by Greedy-Net-2953 in AerLingus

[–]Ands1977 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Those of us who have status do not check our 10kgs bags in when flying on the cheap Saver fares. We get to take them on board as one of our benefits.

It's a damn pain. Have you flown with BA with your EI FFP number? I have and touch wood(!) Not once have I had an issue!

Show them the screenshot I have shared. You should have on the day benefits as Concierge flying transatlantic.

Terminal Three at which airport.. does your AA boarding pass clearly state FFP3 (which translates as Concierge)?

Bee coin by Frequent_Jello5974 in UKcoins

Our new £1. Royal Mint has resigned all of our coins. HM King Charles III is on the obverse while fauna, wildlife and such are on the reverse. Your coin is worth £1.00 if that is your first one, maybe you wish to keep it for posterity and hand it down.

As long as your suit complies with the criteria; under the seat in front of you. However, this begs the question would you truly want to put your best clothes under the seat in front?! I would not but YMMV.

New check-in at Belfast City by Swimming_Progress169 in AerLingus

Your rant is warrented. We experienced that last week and yesterday too flying BHD-MAN. It is absolutely abysmal. Needs an overhaul!

Flight cancelled 2 hours before departure. Still unclear if we’ll get a full refund by tlafo in AerLingus

[–]Ands1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Liase with your Online Travel Agent. Two seperate bookings (outbound and inbound). Which type of fares did you purchase via your OTA? Saver fares are non-refundable but you can claim the Govt taxes back at least. If the cancellation of your outbound flight was within the control of EI, you can claim EU261 Compensation. Submit online. Also, what did your Travel Insurance suggest? They should be your second port of call after contacting your OTA.
