How to earn and redeem Aeroplan points with PAL Airlines

Redeem Aeroplan points with PAL Airlines

Here are the details you need to know when booking Aeroplan award tickets on PAL Airlines:

  • Flights are priced according to Aeroplan’s airline partner pricing. Later in 2023, there will be a transition to a new reward pricing chart for Aeroplan’s regional Canadian partners.
  • Members will be able to book PAL Airlines flights on aircanada.com, on the Air Canada mobile app or through the Aeroplan Centre
  • These flights may be combined with flights operated by Air Canada or other international airline partners
  • Points redemption applies to economy class only, as this is the only class PAL Airlines operates

Here is the price list:

According to the Aeroplan fare structure and a quick calculation via the GCMAP tool, a flight from Montreal to St. John’s covers 1,008 miles, which is equivalent to redeeming 10,000 Aeroplan points.
