We’re celebrating our one-millionth AerClub member
AerClub is celebrating its millionth member milestone! Maria Healy from Balbriggan, Co. Dublin, became the millionth person worldwide to sign up to the programme.
As AerClub's one-millionth member, Maria wins Platinum membership in AerClub, a €500 shopping trip and personal styling session from Kildare Village, a personal chauffeur to and from her shopping spree, courtesy of Devine's Chauffeur Service, dinner at the five-star Merrion Hotel, and 240,000 Avios! That translates to Business Class return flights to the US or up to 30 flights from Ireland to Europe (excluding taxes, fees and charges).
AerClub is the first Irish airline loyalty programme to give its members the opportunity to collect Avios 'in the air' each time they fly, 'on the ground' with partners such as SuperValu and Kildare Village, and 'online' via the AerClub eStore. The eStore is home to hundreds of top name brands including retail, hotels and car hire, across Ireland, Europe and North America, allowing members to collect up to 10 Avios for every Euro they spend.
AerClub has welcomed members worldwide, including 450,000 Irish members, 267,000 US members and 152,000 members from across Europe and the UK. Since the programme launched in November 2016, AerClub members have taken 2.4 million flights with Aer Lingus and flown approximately 2.58 billion miles - equivalent to 103,700 trips around the world!
The most frequently travelled routes by AerClub members include Dublin-Heathrow, Dublin-Gatwick and Cork-Heathrow. When it comes spending their Avios on reward flights, AerClub members are making the most of Aer Lingus' Stateside destinations, jetting off to the popular US cities including New York and Boston, as well as locations a little closer to home such as Faro, Malaga and London.
AerClub is made up of four membership tiers - Green, Silver, Platinum and Concierge. Each tier has a unique combination of travel benefits which may include lounge access, priority check-in, priority boarding and bonus Avios earning. In recognition of each Aer Lingus flight taken, AerClub awards Tier Credits - the more Tier Credits collected, the quicker members will move up to the next membership tier and the more travel benefits they will enjoy.
