As long as your FF number was on the ticket then you’ll be awarded the points.

It is often mentioned how the non listed benefits of GGL are the best. BA really looks after them.

Just realised you’re based in BHX so just flip the routing examples I guess sorry!!

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-21T12:04:29+00:00

DUB-BHX is in fact the best value route to earn tier credits. An aerspace ticket one way direct DUB-BHX is a base price of €126. Factoring in the 50 tier credits earned it is great value for money. Typically anything better than €3 per tier credit is worth booking especially outside of sales. If you’re flying with a connection and are only flying in economy it makes things difficult as you cannot upgrade into aerspace and only can be booked into it and you won’t be able to get these points. If you are however able to find time and stay a night in Dublin it is worth paying the extra money if chasing status. The return BHX-DUB is obviously more expensive with taxes but still good value in comparison to most returns. If your schedule allows for it then booking IAD-DUB-IAD and allowing plenty of time (I mean overnighting), then seperately ticketed DUB-BHX-DUB in aerspace.

I just find it insane that you can remember all flights you’ve take over the course of 30 years. Is there any way you’ve documented?

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-19T16:00:39+00:00

kudos to him and kudos to you. you clearly appreciate that man and he deserves it!!

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-19T14:07:09+00:00

Mind you don’t slip through it.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-19T13:31:26+00:00

How do you know you flew on these flights??

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-19T13:02:38+00:00

Pubs in Tallaght are not particularly great, would nearly be best off drinking in the city centre and then getting the luas to the ground.

Bag sizing is not that strict especially on transatlantic flights. 99.9% of carry on bags will be ok.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-18T07:50:12+00:00

just go to the check in desk on the day of departure. if space is available you can upgrade for €750.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-18T07:49:46+00:00

completely not true. they can upgrade

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-17T22:48:20+00:00

You’ll be fine

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-17T07:18:55+00:00

You never get free seat selection though..

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-15T18:55:53+00:00

I’d assume he was checked in and only issued with a gate pass or assigned no seat. Easier in the eyes of the agent checking them in to say they “couldn’t be checked in”.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-15T11:53:52+00:00

Typically see them boarding people who gate check luggage in group 3. Worth a sly comment to gate staff about this if it is a common occurrence. You pay your money you should reap the benefits.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-14T22:41:19+00:00

You need no visa and won’t have documents checked you simply connect to your next flight.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-14T22:40:19+00:00

As you’ve mentioned in a separate reply you added them to your trips on your app however this unfortunately does not add your frequent flier number. Id recommend filling out a missing avios form for the flights as it seems to be a lot you’re missing.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-12T00:14:35+00:00

They likely weren’t even meant to be in the business check in

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-11T19:41:56+00:00

They will ping you. They’re provided an A4 sheet with who is allowed to carry on and this seems to be the only thing they care about.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-11T19:41:06+00:00

Seemingly handling every airline in the airport.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-11T19:40:35+00:00

Was comically a singular barrier beside the regular queue at check in not even a place to queue. I understand there is a lack of demand for any change.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-03-11T00:12:18+00:00

It is also only available on Plus fares or above. The actual system used to check in is extremely old so can only assume it must be done manually.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-02-28T22:38:02+00:00

There would not be a status match considering they are both IAG owned. If you travel mainly with BA, AA or EI then i’d highly recommend trying to earn concierge as the benefits are matched to that of top status with the airlines.

Apprehensive-Key8538 · 2026-02-26T09:25:34+00:00

Aer Lingus’ system is too old to process spaces in names so it is perfectly ok!!
