Aer Lingus AerClub
AerClub connects Aer Lingus flights with IAG airlines, other airline partners, cards, the AerClub eStore, hotels, car hire, retail, and Avios travel rewards.
An Avios program with Green, Silver, Platinum, and Concierge tiers; Tier Credits and minimum Aer Lingus sectors are measured in an April-to-March qualification period.

How earning works
Eligible Aer Lingus flights under the published accrual table
100 percentage of flown distance in Avios per 100 eligible unit
What counts: Eligible paid fares credited to the program
Does not count: Reward tickets and excluded fare classes, taxes, and fees
Pricing rules matter more than the word “free,” which is doing heroic work in most loyalty brochures.
