Vistara, Aeroplan’s new airline partner

After Etihad Airways and Azul Brazilian Airlines, it is now the turn of the Indian airline Vistara to become a new partner of Aeroplan from Air Canada.

Vistara is an Indian airline:

• with 40 aircraft
• a network of 34 destinations
• with 200 daily direct flights

Vistara serves international destinations such as Dubai, Kathmandu and Singapore.

And the airline will soon begin routes to Europe, including London, Paris and Frankfurt with its Boeing 787-9s. London flights start on August, 28, 2020.

As of today, you can use Aeroplan miles to travel with Vistara, following Aeroplan’s Fixed Mileage Flight Reward chart. And there is no carrier surcharge!

Here is an example between New Delhi (DEL) and London (LHR) for a one-way economy and business class flight:

This new partnership will be very interesting thanks to Aeroplan’s new chart, which will be in effect from November 8, 2020.

India is located in the Atlantic region, which means that a flight reward will start at 7,500 points for a one-way flight to most Indian destinations.

Here are the different distances regarding international destinations. Note that the flight from New Delhi to Frankfurt will be less than 4,000 miles away,which means that a one-way economy flight will cost 25,000 Aeroplan points or 45,000 points in business!

Starting today, you can earn Aeroplan miles for Vistara flights:

Air Canada continues to strengthen Aeroplan’s list of partners around the world: Cathay Pacific, Gol, Etihad Airways, Azul and today Vistara. We also learned that other very exciting news will come soon… To be continued!
