Hi

The United website seems to imply you only get miles with Aer Lingus if you fly Ireland to the U.K. Is that people's experience?

"Earn MileagePlus® miles according to the booking class that you purchase on qualifying Aer Lingus-operated flights:

Between North America and Ireland
Between London and Dublin, Cork, Shannon* or Belfast
Between Dublin and Manchester* or Birmingham*"

I want to fly Dublin to Portugal with Aer Lingus. Has anyone experience with booking such flights to maximize miles and service. Should we book via Aer Lingus website or can we use the cheaper 3rd party site and still get the same miles/service.

I'm a MP Gold and wife MP silver.


Thanks.
