Aeroplan Premium Economy redemptions have been added to the award chart. Since Air Canada introduced rouge and premium economy, there has never been a way to use Aeroplan miles for premium economy redemptions until today. The premium economy redemptions are sandwiched between the economy and business class prices. Thankfully, there are no adjustments to any of…
Note that points.com no longer allows Aeroplan to US Airways transfers. Aeroplan is the primary currency for most Canadians. Some redemptions are better deals than others, so I’d like to highlight some of my favourites. I’ll be covering three Aeroplan flight awards in this post, all of which can avoid fuel surcharges. This posts lists…
It’s taken me a while (in my defence, as the weather cooled Resolute, Nunavut seemed less and less enticing), but finally, we come to probably the most important (or second most, after Canadian North) domestic Aeroplan partner – First Air. I talked about how they and Canadian North are intending to merge, but in the…
Update: Aeroplan has removed the multi-city price option. Looks like deal is dead. Yesterday I talked about the new Aeroplan pricing system and the new method that the computer uses to auto-validate routings. Many things have changed, yet during the engine swap something very interesting has happened. I looked into it further, and it just…

Aeroplan is running a transfer bonus on points transferred INTO your Aeroplan account. They’ve ran it quite a few times and it’s happened quite regularly every time. The last time it ran was in May. The bonuses for earning more Aeroplan points are tiered, and max out at 25% for a 25,000 point bonus when…
The Air Canada representative on Flyertalk released some details today about a revamped devalued Air Canada Altitude elite status program for 2015. I have to say it is looking pretty bleak. Here are a summary of the changes and my thoughts. Air Canada Altitude Negative Changes Minimum Air Canada Flight Requirement The Minimum Air Canada Flight…
Update: The offer with waived first year annual fee has been extended until Aug 31, 2015. See my updated post here. Credit cards are really heating up this month, and it seems over the past months that many issuers are one-upping each other with offers and benefits. Where I used to see the standard 15,000…
TD has been issuing Aeroplan co-branded credit cards in Canada for a few months, and they’ve had I one public promotion in April, where the first year annual fee were waived on some of their credit cards. A reader forwarded an TD Aeroplan Banking offer he was targeted for allowing him to earn up to…
Air Canada Rouge Introduction When Air Canada switched over many of their leisure routes from mainline to Rouge many folks weren’t too thrilled about it, yours truly included. Nothing says premium travel like 35 inch seat pitch. Rouge is the “lower-cost” arm of the airline. They operate their own planes in a more leisure configuration,…
