Editor’s Take
The Aer Lingus Visa Signature® Card is a good choice if you frequently fly with Aer Lingus and will get enough value from the card to offset the annual fee. It can be valuable if you’ll earn and redeem Avios, spend at least $30,000 on your card annually to earn a companion pass, and can take advantage of priority boarding on qualifying Aer Lingus flights.
