Change to Fare Structure as of 1 October 2023
The Tier Credit earning tables have been updated, showing a (slight) change in fare structure from 1 October next....

AerSpace now has a 4th bucket 'D' which is discount business
The number of buckets at the lowest tier credit level is the same as now so not a devaluation
Most interesting is this, what do you earn if anything?** AerSpace Tier Credits are awarded on short haul flights purchased in I, J, D, & C Class only. They are not earned as part of a long haul Business fare where AerSpace is complimentary, original fare rules and Tier Credits apply in this instance.

Its interesting they are making changes to the fare structure so far in advance. I wonder if something else is brewing with the Winter 23 timetable? Either entry to the oneowlrd JV from a customer point of view or membership of oneworld/oneworld connect, maybe?

The extra tier credits put me in Silver this year which I would never otherwise have hit.

Seems to me they’re not selling much even at that. I’ve been the only person in Row 1 a few times this year.

Don't understand the logic of how it works, but I'm not complaining (other than no more AerSpace from BHD for cheap Tier Credits)

Low, Plus, Advantage as all sourced from the same bucket and are basically "add ons" on the base fare so there is a fixed relationship, so you can have an advantage fare on a W/A/Z bucket
You will do pretty well on evening flights towards Dublin as there is no TATL business competing for the space.I've got a few at less than the plus fare so its a no brainer
