Starting March 25, 2025, Aeroplan will introduce changes to its award flight fare chart.
The main change concerns certain partners who will adopt dynamic pricing, similar to that in place for flights operated by Air Canada.
The following international airline partners will be affected by these changes:
And regional airline partners in Canada:
These changes result from special agreements between Aeroplan and these carriers. While the rates may increase, Aeroplan promises better award ticket availability on these flights.
To simplify its fare chart, Aeroplan will replace the current price ranges with two new rates: a base rate, identical to the current minimum values, and a median rate based on the historical exchange data of members.
Median fares will be updated every three months. They will only apply to flights within North America and will not be displayed for international flights or First Class.
In addition, the carriers affected by the changes (United, Etihad, PAL and others) will now be grouped together under the Air Canada and Select Partners in the new rewards fare chart.
The fixed fare structure remains unchanged for all other airline partners.
Finally, Aeroplan Elite members and co-branded credit cardholders will retain their current preferential rates on points bookings.
From March 25, 2025, Etihad Airways will restore full access to its inventory of Business Class seats for bookings with Aeroplan points. However, the situation remains unchanged for First Class seats: their availability remains very limited.
For Aeroplan members who intend to use their points on these airlines, it may be worthwhile to try to find award flights before March 25, 2025 to guarantee points fares.
Tools like Roame are useful to help you find award flight availability before the changes take effect, or good points fares when pricing becomes dynamic.
As of March 25, 2025, seven of Aeroplan’s partners, including United Airlines and Etihad Airways, will adopt dynamic pricing similar to that of Air Canada. If you plan to use your points with these carriers, remember to book before this date to guarantee current fares.
