The Aeroplan fare grid is a key element for optimizing the use of your points, and it is based on several rules that influence the cost of flight rewards. Among them, the absence of carrier surcharges helps reduce additional fees, while partner pricing varies depending on the affiliated airlines. Stopover and layover rules determine the flexibility of itineraries, and pricing is based on zones and distance travelled. Aeroplan also offers a rewards prediction tool to estimate the cost in points, as well as a Points + Cash option to adjust payment. Finally, certain specific fees may apply depending on changes or cancellations. <\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Here is the part of my video capsule dedicated to this topic:[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/9kBzhA6GNRs?t=158″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”yq”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The Absence of Aeroplan Carrier Surcharges” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” css=”” el_id=”the_absence_of_aeroplan_carrier_surcharges”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

Air Canada is part of an alliance called Star Alliance, which brings together several partner airlines. One of the strengths of the Aeroplan program is that no additional carrier surcharges<\/a> are added when you book a ticket with points for a flight operated by a partner carrier or by Air Canada itself. For example, if you book an Air Canada or Star Alliance partner flight with your points, you won’t pay any additional carrier fees beyond taxes and charges. <\/p>\n

Air Canada does not levy specific additional surcharges (otherwise known as “carrier fees”), but passengers should expect to pay taxes and government fees on award bookings. These fees are generally imposed by airport authorities and governments, not by Air Canada directly. This differs from some other airlines, which add surcharges to award tickets. <\/p>\n

Aeroplan applies a fixed booking fee of $39 for all award tickets including a flight operated by a partner.<\/p>\n

This fee was introduced by Air Canada to encourage members to prefer flights<\/a> operated by the airline itself. Regardless of the duration or complexity of the trip, the amount remains the same: <\/p>\n
