July 4 Update: Aer Lingus to launch Toronto-Dublin (think Avios redemptions!), up to 4x Aeroplan Miles at Eaton Chelsea, topbonus sign up bonus

Thursday proves to be a little quieter then Monday or Tuesday but I
still have some good news and lots of bonus offers to pass along

News, Tips & Tricks

Aer Lingus has announced that they will launch direct
Toronto – Dublin service in April of 2014. Why is this significant? Well
Aer Lingus is a oneworld airline and is a great way to redeem your
British Airways Avios for Transatlantic travel. Aer Lingus has some of
the lowest fuel surcharges out there which means you can redeem 40,000
Avios for a round trip economy class ticket or 80,000 Avios for Business
Class and incur a lot less charges than similar flights on British
Airways. As Lucky from One Mile at a Time
points out you will probably only pay about $150 in fuel surcharges,
taxes and fees for an Aer Lingus Business Class redemption whereas that
same redemption for a BA flight would incur ~$1000 in fees and taxes. This
is great news for all you American Express Gold Rewards and Platinum
cardholders, RBC Avion and British Airways Visa cardholders!
True Aer Lingus’ cabin product is probably not up to par with British Airways but also according to Lucky it ain’t half bad!
