Continuing my round-the-clock coverage of everything beautiful about Aeroplan, let’s move on to one of the eastern partners, Air Creebec. As their name (sort of) suggests, they are Aeroplan’s resident Quebecois carrier (at least if you want to go anywhere north of Sept-Iles). Fun fact: they are entirely owned by the Cree, one of the…

Tracking KLM New World Business Class
It’s no secret that SkyTeam doesn’t get much love amongst us travel-hacker folk, so I thought I would take this chance to talk about the progress of KLM’s New Business Class rollout that is currently going underway. Late last year, KLM announced a new World Business Class product (if that name sounds familiar, it was…
Revisiting Aeroplan Fuel Dumping
I talk about Aeroplan’s fuel surcharges a lot because they really are one of the main downsides to Aeroplan redemptions as a whole – especially if they add over $1000 to the cost of your award redemption. Most of the time, you’d want to pick airlines that don’t charge fuel surcharges, but depending on the…
When you do get a great hotel deal…
I’ve been loving Hyatt, their benefits, and Diamond elite status ever since I started their challenge. A few months ago, however, I snagged a fantastic deal on a suite at the Fairfax, a Luxury Collection Hotel in DC. The rate was only around ~$70 a night. The room has fairly “dated” decor, but certainly it’s…
Good Deal on Czech CSA OK Plus Miles to Iceland
Nothing says a good use of a beautiful afternoon like pouring through obscure SkyTeam award charts 😉 (ask me anything about Saudia Alfursan Miles, try me) but it looks like there seems to be a bit of a sweet spot for redeeming Czech CSA OK Plus miles to Iceland. Unlike just about every other zone-based…
Introducing the Ultimate Aeroplan Guide
Aeroplan is one of really the only significant Canadian frequent flyer program so it’s no surprise my blog focuses heavily on them and what they do and/or can do. My posts on/about Aeroplan do get a little scattered everywhere though, so I thought it would be useful to consolidate them into kind of like a resource…
Calm Air Aeroplan Redemptions
After the last post I’m hoping all of you have your tickets to Rankin Inlet and Norman Wells booked already 😉 – so let’s move a little to the south to Calm Air. Like Canadian North, Calm Air is also an Aeroplan partner for both earning and redeeming, and also like Canadian North, their revenue…
Redeeming Aeroplan Miles on Canadian North
Aeroplan has a great variety of special redemptions, and one of them is using Aeroplan miles for award travel on Canadian North, which can be a great value redemption using Aeroplan points. Canadian North, along with Air North and First Air serve the main trunk routes throughout the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. In fact, Canadian…
Asiana Airlines Flights from Seoul-Incheon to Busan
Busan, South Korea is a relatively tricky city to reach using Aeroplan (or any Star Alliance miles, for that matter) – especially relative to its size. Unlike Korean Air, Asiana does not operate domestic flights from Seoul-Gimpo to Busan, but instead does so via its subsidiary Air Busan which is not a Star Alliance partner…
British Airways First Class for 25,000 Avios?
Edit: I had written this post a while back but only gotten around to publishing it today and by some co-incidence British Airways also announced that Old First is to be sold as business class instead. The seat maps and inventory haven’t been changed to reflect that though, at least for flights departing in the…
