Online access to reservation booked with AerClub Avios?
I have booked an AerClub Avios flight redemption (one way CDG-DUB-IAD) for next spring. Just after ticketing I phoned Aer Lingus and have reserved seats.
I have both the AerClub and Aer Lingus PNR/Reservation codes. I can see my reservation on the Aer Lingus website but it says any changes (seat assignments is the real question here) need to me made with the original booking agent as if I booked through a travel agent or third-party website.
Is there a way to access my details and seat assignments online???

Short answer is no. Strange as it sounds, an avios award booking acts like a 3rd party website (probably because it is in a way). Only way to change seats or check things is to call EI, or though I think you can add API on the EI website.
And yes this is extremely annoying that it works this way!

Just to note regardless of how its was done, if seats are assigned manually you lose control of the booking online, they cannot be changed online even at online check in.
Avios is really a third party here acting as a travel agent, be interesting to see if you have a 053 or 125 ticket number
