Prince of Travel Elites
How does the Super Elite perk work? I thought it was not transferable.

Super Elites can book surcharge-free tickets out of their account in anyone’s name.
I’ve often wondered how you manage to do some of the itineraries you do. They sound exhausting.
For me taking a plane is like taking a bus. Sure, J is a much nicer bus than Y but it’s still a bus. The exact reason I want J is because I think I will be fresher and ready to enjoy my vacation faster after a long flight. So it’s all about a lie flat seat and some elbow room for me. The fewer stops the better.
I feel that to begin to understand a large city one must spend a week there. A 12-18 hour stopover might be nice occasionally but lets not kid ourselves that it’s a visit. It’s a lunch date at best. Most layovers are just hanging around in an airport feeling tired.
I was thinking about the Super Elite perk recently but wasn’t sure how it would work exactly. Do you have to transfer the miles to them somehow, or are they able to book a flight for me with my own miles somehow?
The ticket will need to be booked out of their account under your name. Either pay them back with a different booking later on, or transfer your MR points to their Aeroplan account to get this done.
Other thing that comes into my consideration is if my partner that I’m travelling with also wants to do these long routes w/ <24h layovers. Or how many stops is too many? There definitely a compromise that you have to make when travelling with someone else that I might not have made if I was travelling alone. However, sometimes having a P2 actually brings you down to earth a bit and makes a trip much more reasonable and doable w/o burning yourself out.
