Is Aer Lingus a partner with American Airlines?

American Airlines has announced another method to earn AAdvantage miles points and Loyalty Points, this time through enlarging its collaboration with one of the known Irish flag carriers which is Aer Lingus. For now, Aer Lingus will be an earning partner (only). However, Air Lingus plans to maintain this partnership and grow its cooperation with American Airlines. The benefit of this collaboration is that customers can reserve flight tickets at the cheapest price compared to other airlines.   

Here's a look at the new earning rates or rate of pay and what you know so far about this new collaboration.

Aer Lingus Adds American Airlines as Earning-Only Partner

Aer Lingus is bringing on American Airlines as an earning-only partner by using the codeshare method. Starting today, you can now receive AAdvantage miles points on Aer Lingus and affiliate-operated flights on every ticket you purchase.

As an ?earning-only? suggested, this collaboration has no other new perks besides earning miles points. However, AA confirmed to AwardWallet that it proposed adding Aer Lingus as a redemption of the credit points for new flight booking ?in the future.? Unfortunately, they don't have a better greater than that.

Earning rates for Aer Lingus-operated air services

Talking Earning rates on Aer Lingus Airline and affiliate operated aviations are a purpose of a few entities, including the flight ticket's cash amount, your AA (AAdvantage elite) status, and the class of the flight you've reserved.

Thankfully, there's no requirement to flare up a map and plot the extent of your Aer Lingus plans or evaluate add up of how many miles you'll earn, as is customary with airline collaborations.

Talking about the Aer Lingus flights, then the only requirement to earn is reserving the seats into an eligible class of the flight, as mentioned here:

• Business class: J, C, D, I, R
• Economy class: Y, B, H, K, L, M, N, S, V, G, O, Q, F, Z, A

If your flight ticket attributes one of those fare classes then there is a great news for you. You'll earn miles points when you credit the flight to American Airlines' advantage.

The quantity of AAdvantage miles points and Loyalty Points you'll earn is the product of the flight ticket's cash price (less the service charge, taxes, and fees) and your AAdvantage status. As a refresher, the reward point tied to each level of AAdvantage status can be found using the information given below:

• For General airline membership: Passenger will gate 5 miles for every $1 spent
• For Gold membership: Passenger will gate 7 miles for every $1 spent
• For Platinum airline membership: Passengers will gate 8 miles for every $1 spent
• For Platinum Pro airline membership: Passengers will gate 9 miles for every $1 spent
• For Executive Platinum airline membership: Passengers will gate 11 miles for every $1 spent  

For example, if you hold AA membership (AAdvantage) Platinum status and reserve a flight with a cash price of 1,000 USD (after subtracting all the taxes and all types of fees), multiply the cash amount by 8x. You'd earn 8,000 redeemable AAdvantage miles points and 8,000 Loyalty Points on this membership for the itinerary.
