On Aer Lingus flights, the only prerequisite to earning is booking into an eligible fare class, as detailed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Business:<\/strong> J, C, D, I, R<\/li>\n<li><strong>Economy:<\/strong> Y, B, H, K, L, M, N, S, V, G, O, Q, F, Z, A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The number of AAdvantage miles and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/loyalty-points\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Loyalty Points<\/a> you'll earn is the product of the base fare plus any carrier-imposed fees (less government-imposed taxes and fees) and your AAdvantage status. As a refresher, the bonuses tied to each level of AAdvantage status can be found below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>General member:<\/strong> 5 miles for every $1 spent<\/li>\n<li><strong>AAdvantage Gold:<\/strong> 7 miles for every $1 spent (40% bonus)<\/li>\n<li><strong>AAdvantage Platinum:<\/strong> 8 miles for every $1 spent (60% bonus)<\/li>\n<li><strong>AAdvantage Platinum Pro:<\/strong> 9 miles for every $1 spent (80% bonus)<\/li>\n<li><strong>AAdvantage Executive Platinum:<\/strong> 11 miles for every $1 spent (120% bonus)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, if you hold <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/platinum-status\/\" rel=\"noopener\">AAdvantage Platinum status<\/a> and book a ticket with a cash price of $1,000 (after subtracting the government-imposed taxes and fees), multiply the cash price by 8X. On this mock itinerary, you'd earn 8,000 redeemable AAdvantage miles and 8,000 Loyalty Points.<\/p>\n<p>To credit your Aer Lingus flight to AAdvantage, you can either call Aer Lingus after making your reservation or enter your frequent flyer number during checkout.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"American_Airlines_Benefits_for_Aer_Club_Elites\">American Airlines Benefits for Aer Club Elites<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aer Lingus\u2019 own loyalty program, Aer Club, offers similar benefits for its elite members when flying on American Airlines.
