Number of Aeroplan Points Needed

The Aeroplan program allows you to travel on Air Canada or its 53 partners, such as :

United Air New Zealand Emirates Lufthansa SWISS
TAP Air Portugal Turkish Airlines Virgin Australia Copa Airlines Cathay Pacific

On an Air Canada flight, the price charged in Aeroplan points is dynamic and fluctuates according to market value prices. All seats are available as long as there is room.

Whereas for partner carriers, the cost of points is always fixed and predictable, but with a limited number of seats available.

Plus, when you use your Aeroplan points to book a flight with Air Canada or a partner, you avoid paying the carrier surcharges! This represents savings of several hundred dollars compared with other airline loyalty programs. This surcharge includes fuel and other additional costs that you would normally pay.

For example, a one-way economy flight between Montreal and Paris costs :

  • Between 35,000 and 60,000 Aeroplan points with Air Canada + taxes and fees
  • 35,000 Aeroplan points + taxes + $39 partner booking fee with Lufthansa or United Airlines (subject to change)
