Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Club Aer Lingus companion voucher

  • 1 post

    Has aer lingus been removed as an option to book with the companion voucher? As I have been searching for aer lingus flights on the british airways website but none are showing up despite availability on the aer lingus reward flights website.

    Having the same problem. Doesn’t matter if it’s economy or business never has availability.

    Aer Lingus has its own FF scheme with waitlisting for its own elites. Finding availability online is thus challenging. They give Concierge members 4 upgrade vouchers a year, plus a companion voucher. And you earn an upgrade voucher at Platinum level on your way to Concierge.

    @BWS, does that mean EI release fewer seats to BA though? I assumed available award seats were visible via both websites, just with much lower availability for EI, as you said, because their own members are getting the majority of them.

    This would mean straightforward redemptions would be possible via Aer Club, but not using the 241 on BA.com.

    Ohh I see now. I misread the OP. Should show the same availability in my experience.

    Also wondering which route OP is searching for? I’ve only ever seen economy availability between MAN and JFK, and nothing on the other MAN routes, for example. There were some posts a while ago about good J availability from DUB, but obviously this wouldn’t fit everyone’s travel plans.
