Unable to book EDI - DUB reward ticket
Hi all,
I'm a first timer in Aer Lingus but a frequent Qatar Airways flyer, so please pardon my ignorance. I'll be traveling from Edinburgh to Dublin in June (have confirmed availability on seats.aero) and the revenue fare for IE non-stop is a whopping GBP 156 per person, while the reward ticket should be 4500 Avios + taxes.
Unfortunately, IE doesn't show up at all on BA's award booking portal. For some reason, the option to book through Avios. com website throws a 404 error.
I'm going around in circles from IE website to Avios site, and haven't even got the reward flight search page yet. I have 2 questions:
1. Is booking the sector even permitted on BA and Avios portals? I know sometime restrictions might exist.
2. Am I using Avios website wrong? I'm logging in With Aerclub credentials, have the required amount of miles, but spend miles simply takes me back to an Aer Lingus webpage where i can spend Avios to offset cash on a revenue ticket.
Can someone share a link to the flight search page on Avios website. I'm accessing from India, but have access to VPN if needed.
Thanks in advance!

Hi gjc31 ,
I login to Avios website. Somehow, the search screen doesn't work for me at all - just loads the Avios homepage after I search. Would appreciate if you can share the link of the search page so I can see if works. Thanks in advance!
