Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for travel to Europe from the East Coast, specifically on routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR), during the off-peak months of January to March, as availability tends to be higher and fewer travelers are competing for seats.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from Toronto to Montreal for just 10,000 Aeroplan miles, which typically costs around $300 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via Vancouver (YVR) instead of a direct flight to save approximately 2,000 miles, as the JFK-YVR-NRT routing counts as 8,000 miles versus the 10,000 miles for a direct booking.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying on Air Canada for routes to Europe, as they often charge a high fuel surcharge of approximately $400 on award tickets, which significantly increases the overall cost.
