Aer Lingus is the national airline of Ireland, originally founded by the Irish government but now fully privatized and owned by International Airlines Group (IAG). Its headquarters are located at Dublin Airport in Cloghran, County Dublin. The airline has strong codeshare agreements with major carriers such as Etihad Airways, JetBlue Airways and United Airlines, giving passengers more connectivity around the world.
Aer Lingus operates a hybrid model, mixed fare services on European routes and full service two class on transatlantic flights, so there’s something for every type of traveller.
Aer Lingus flies to 94 destinations in Europe, North America and parts of Asia, including Austria, Canada, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK and Greece. The airline has 53 aircraft and is committed to delivering a comfortable and efficient travel experience.
AerClub – Aer Lingus Frequent Flyer Program
Aer Lingus rewards its loyal customers through its frequent flyer programme, AerClub, which replaced the old Gold Circle programme in November 2016. AerClub uses Avios points as its currency, so members can earn and redeem points for flights, upgrades and exclusive benefits.
The programme has four tiers – Green, Silver, Platinum and Concierge, each with increasing privileges and perks for frequent flyers.
