We’ve been able to use Alaska Air miles on Aer Lingus for quite some time but…business class from SEA to BCN is 350K + $22. British Air isn’t any better-not so many miles needed but nearly $1100 in their fees.

“The other quirk about Aer Lingus is that they’re a full service carrier across the Atlantic, but intra-Europe they are a low cost carrier.”

I would not call Aer Lingus a full service carrier across the Atlantic. They aren’t bad for a low cost carrier, but they still have quirks like having to pay for alcohol.

Will be eagerly awaiting TATL options from ORD that do not involve the whopping fees involved in a “free” ticket via LHR.

It’s about time,I fly to Manchester or Belfast at least once a month from DFW and fly Aer Lingus a lot, with being a EP with AA this will be nice,especially since AA not operating there DFW-DUB flight this winter, I am forced to go through LHR or DUB then ORD on EI, lounge benefits will come in handy,now it would be nice if rejoined One World again

But still – why are they not a OneWorld member airline? I don’t get it.

@Jay AAdvantage redemptions should already be up and running. I used AA miles to fly Aer Lingus this past summer.

Nice AI thumbnails, Gary; the pot of gold really did it for me. As an AA EP, I’m pleased with these new codeshare benefits. While these developments are not great for UA elites, they added codeshares with Emirates, so you win some, you lose some.

I also love CPB pre clearance at DUB. my (very limited) experiences there were remarkably fast and efficient unlike some other preclear facilities globally…

I’m going to Ireland next summer. I know there’s no way to know for sure but do you guys think AAdvantage redemptions will be up and running by then?
