Do we know what time the new Aeroplan website will be available for booking on Nov 8? The article mentions afternoon but just wondering if a specific time was provided?
Ricky, thanks for the ongoing, lightning fast, updates.
I want to book a one-way flight from YOW to Tokyo in Biz for 2 people, for early next fall. Any day between Sep22 and Oct7 is good but I want to be sure to avoid the point/price increase. When looking on the Aeroplan site, I see lots of opp for Economy and PremiumEc but nil for Biz (for the portion crossing the Pacific). Expert Flyer (1 week trial) produced zip. I figure AC just hasn’t loaded any Biz inventory.
Any suggestions on how to get to Tokyo in biz class before the price/points rise?
Thanks.
Any idea if it makes more sense to wait until after the transition to book a LAX>>YYZ flight with Air Canada given the updates to the surcharge fee structure?
i would say book it now if you have firm dates, you’re not going to save THAT much surcharge plus if you book now, you can get a free stopover somewhere plus you wont be subjected to dynamic pricing.
That depends on what you value. The carrier surcharge each way is CAD$34.50. If you book after Nov 8 you might be paying more than 12.5/25k one way since it will be dynamic based. Since cancellation is free until December 31, 2020, you can book now, cancel and re-book if the new flights’ fees and miles works better for you.
Ricky,
Thank you for the heads up for the new transition dates. As well as the reminders about the credit cards etc. Excellent information as always. I have already used my miles for tickets next year but I am really looking forward to playing around with the new Aeroplan application.
