Emirates Skywards offers a 25% discount on its Economy class flight awards with partner carriers, starting at 2,250 miles. Air Canada is on the list, making this an interesting opportunity for Canadians holding Skywards miles, whether from Emirates flights or through a program transfer.
Normally, redeeming Emirates Skywards miles for an Air Canada flight follows the program’s standard partner award chart. Here are the full details of this discount:
This offer does not affect your Aeroplan points: it concerns only Emirates Skywards miles. If you do not hold Skywards miles, this discount does not change your usual strategy with Aeroplan.
However, if you accumulate Skywards miles, for example because you regularly fly with Emirates to the Middle East, South Asia, or Africa, this discount may be worth exploring for a regional flight with Air Canada rather than letting those miles sit idle. It’s also a useful reminder that Air Canada and Emirates maintain a reciprocal earning and redemption partnership, separate from the Star Alliance network to which Air Canada belongs.
If you hold unused Emirates Skywards miles, here’s how I would maximize this discount before it expires.
For frequent travelers who accumulate on both sides, consult our complete Emirates Skywards guide to understand all redemption rules.
Consult our complete guide to earning and redeeming your Emirates Skywards miles, as well as our guide to Aeroplan flight award rules and our guide to Aeroplan Elite status to compare your options before booking.
