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…

US Airways Mileage Share Bonus is Back… but Different
One of the most predictable things (so far, in life) is US Airways’ frequent bonuses for sharing and/or buying miles. Over the past few years, US Airways has consistently offered share miles promotions that allowed one to generate miles at 1.13 cents per mile, making it one of the single most lucrative promotions out there.…

Through this website, Aeroplan members are able bid on unique opportunities, which include: Escapes – Once-in-a-lifetime trips such as a trip to the world soccer championships in Brazil, and weekend getaways, such as a trip…
KnowRoaming SIM Review
When I’m travelling, I use local SIMs for my unlocked phone. These wouldn’t be the most convenient, however, for layovers or short stays (23 hour stopovers). There are many international SIM’s available out there, but they generally charge a flat rate per day, usually with a minimum number of days required, so local SIM cards…
Why You Can Afford to be Cheap
If there’s one thing I love in the world, it’s not Lufthansa First Class as some of you might believe, but my readers. Because I know sometimes I don’t say it enough, but it’s true, I do. Now with that in mind, the only thing I love almost as much as you guys is saving…
No Fuel Surcharges on Asiana with Aeroplan!
Aeroplan levies fuel surcharges on some carriers when redeeming award tickets, which you can see in this list. Right now, it seems that online and via the phone center Aeroplan is glitching out when charging fuel surcharges on Asiana flights, making fuel surcharge only $1 per segment. If you don’t have Aeroplan at the moment, you can…
