I lost my card, I cannot sign in, it will not take it. I try chat and phoning with novavail. HELP
I don’t exactly understand what you’re having issues with, but the Prince of Travel Elites Facebook group is a good place to ask.
Hi alex – how can one make Air Canada to show the eUpgrade eligibility on specific searched flights
If you’re talking about showing eUpgrade availability in the search list, you need to open the “Filters” pane and check the eUpgrade checkbox in the display options.
Coincidentally, I just booked a intra-Asia trips via Aeroplan points in March 2022:
YVR-TPE-SIN (all via EVA Air), then, open jaw return HKG-PVG-YVR (CX, AC) for about 175K Aeroplan pts. This is a semi-speculative booking as this award tickets can be cancelled or changed if needed, thanks to AC”s generous no-penalty change or cancel rule prior to July 31…
@PaulD: the canadiancow.com search is really interesting, Thanks for the suggestion!
The open jaw segment from Singapore to Hong Kong still hasn’t been decided yet; but there will be lots of local Asia airlines (Air Asia, Scoot, Cathay Dragon, Cathay pacific, Singapore Airlines, EVA, etc etc)
Very helpful article. Can’t wait to see how to navigate the labyrinth of booking with BAEC partners.
There’s certainly lots to be discussed there, so stay tuned for it!
How do I see the calendar view when I book with points to what date is the cheapest?
The website only shows the calendar view for flights within Canada. You can see seven days at a time, and the lowest price point of the seven days is highlighted in green.
Thanks
Hi Alex! Might I also suggest CanadianCow’s AC Reward Space searcher at https://api.ft.canadiancow.com/ac-rewardsearcher/ac-rewardsearcher
It can effectively search a range of dates for any award space on Aeroplan – basically the Aeroplan award calendar. I’ll be using this over pretty much anything else until Air Canada releases their own calendar.
Example search here for ANA’s “The Room” business class:
https://api.ft.canadiancow.com/ac-rewardsearcher/ac-rewardsearcher?pax=1&origins=JFK&destinations=NRT&dates=2022-06-25%3A2022-07-05&airlines=
Shows availability JFK-NRT on Jun 26th, 2022 (at time of writing)!
Take it for a spin and let me know how you find it.
paul don’t share stuff on blog like this you ruin it for everyone cuz then everyone uses it. flyertalk is better since not filled with newbs
