Booking a Ticket Under the Promotion:
From the Air Canada’s promotion home page, you can insert a pair of cities and find the cheapest flights under the promotion.
Air Canada has changed to variable pricing on Air Canada metal. The redemption value is a lot less than it is on comparable Star Alliance partners.
I was able to find Vancouver to Toronto pricing for as low as 9,700 Aeroplan Points one way in economy class, on the promotion web page.
When I signed in to Air Canada, I actually found an even better price of 8,600 Aeroplan Points on the same date.
I didn’t see any fantastic deals in Business Class, which were still hovering around 32,300 miles for a one way ticket.
As a result, the best redemption values appear to be in economy class. Unfortunately, this offer only appears to be available for North American and the Caribbean zones. I personally like to save Aeroplan points for long haul international business class, so this offer doesn’t represent a lot of excitement for my personal travel patterns.
What Can You Use Air Canada Aeroplan Points For:
Air Canada Aeroplan points can be redeemed for out right redemptions into a solid Premium Economy product. The Air Canada Premium Economy product is available on their wide body aircraft that include the Boeing 777 series, their Boeing 787 series and their Airbus 330 products.
Air Canada also offers an excellent Air Canada Signature Executive Business Class product that is offered on all their wide body aircraft, including on select domestic flagship routes within Canada.
The Air Canada Signature Business Class offers a fully lie flat seat in a reverse herringbone configuration that is exceptionally private. It is a great way to travel on a medium or long haul flight.
The seats offer a terrific combination of relaxing space and work space thanks to a side table. Overall, it remains among my favourite business class cabins out there.
The challenges of this promotion is finding available award space on a wide body aircraft.
My Thoughts on the Promotion:
Air Canada Aeroplan Points are incredible useful for Canadians. As the leading frequent flier program in Canada, it makes sense to participate in the program.
If you happen to be travelling on an Air Canada flight within North America or the Caribbean in the next quarter, it makes sense to check to see if you can benefit from this promotion. The best values appear to be in economy class, with flights as low as 8,600 Aeroplan points for a Trans Continental flight across Canada.
While it would be great to report that there were terrific values in Air Canada’s Business Class cabins, I didn’t find too many examples of great value on the dates I happened to took a look at.
This promotion is only on for a short while. You’ll have to book by September 29, 2023 for travel before March 31, 2024 in order to take advantage.
In Summary: Air Canada Aeroplan offering 25% off North American & Caribbean Redemptions
Air Canada’s Aeroplan is temporarily offering 25% off North American and Carribiean Redemption until September 29, 2024. This applies for travel between September 15, 2023 to March 31, 2024.
While this won’t move the needle substantially for many, it is worth checking if you have planned personal travel over the next six months where it’s more advantageous to redeem Air Canada Aeroplan points to see if you can take advantage of this promotion.
