Offer valid on new bookings only, made between June 17 and July 1, 2020, for travel from July 1 to October 15, 2020.

Air Canada A321 Montreal

The dates are lengthened enough to allow booking, especially since Aeroplan has extended until August 31, the possibility of cancelling reward flights free of charge.

In North America, reward flights cost between 15,000 and 25,000 miles of Aeroplan round-trip (economy class) and double in business class.

Examples

Being able to get 50% miles bqck of your booking in Aeroplan miles is exceptional!

Here is a round-trip cost table, once you get your 50% miles back in your Aeroplan account:

Cabin Short-Haul Long-Haul Hawaii
Economy 7 500 12 500 22 500
Premium Economy 10 000 20 000 37 500
Business 15 000 25 000 40 000

Hawaii for less than 20,000 miles Aeroplan

Aeroplan has confirmed that this also applies to flights from Canada to Hawaii!

So let’s hope that these flights resume before October 15, 2020, to discover this destination for only:

  • 22,500 Aeroplan miles round trip in economy class
  • 40,000 Aeroplan miles round-trip in Business Class (e.g. Vancouver to Honolulu)

Note that the Toronto to Honolulu flight is seasonal (December – April) and is therefore not accessible during the time of this promotion.

Air Canada B787 9 Rockies

Especially since if you obtained Air Canada Altitude status at the Voyager Chez Soi event,you won’t pay any carrier surcharges through Aeroplan!

And this promotion applies to both fixed-rate premiums and market rate premiums!

Here is, for example, a September flight from Vancouver to Honolulu. Usually available at 45,000 miles Arplan round trip, it is accessible at 39,250 miles Aeroplan round trip at market rate.

Once you get the 50% miles back, it means that this flight will have cost you only 19,625 Aeroplan miles! Unheard of for Hawaii!

Multi-city trip in Western Canada for 12,500 miles Aeroplan

Or you could have a 15-day trip in Western Canada for only 12,500 Aeroplan miles once you get the 50% miles back!

An example of multi-city direct flights between Montreal – Calgary – Vancouver in October, returning October 15 – before the promotion deadline!

Multi-city trip in the Maritimes for 7,500 miles Aeroplan

Or you could discover the Maritimes for only 7,500 Aeroplan miles once you get the 50% miles back!

An example of multi-city direct flights between Montreal – Charlottetown – Halifax in October:
