Tier Credits are the key to unlocking the full benefits of AerClub. You earn Tier Credits when you fly with us on Aer Lingus and selected AerClub partner ticketed and operated flights. They are awarded based on your route and fare type and must be earned in advance of 31 March each calendar year. The more Tier Credits you earn in your 12-month qualification period, the further you'll advance through the AerClub tiers. This means more travel benefits to enjoy!
These tables display the number of Tier Credits you will earn on an Aer Lingus and selected AerClub partner ticket and operated one-way flights.
