Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for travel to Europe from North America in late January to early February, as this is typically when availability peaks for routes like Toronto to London.

Sweet Spot

You can book a one-way business class ticket from Toronto to Tokyo for 40,000 Aeroplan miles, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Barcelona (BCN) via Montreal (YUL) for 40,000 miles in Business Class instead of flying directly from JFK to BCN, which would typically cost around 60,000 miles, saving you 20,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Air Canada on transatlantic routes, as they can impose fees up to $800 in surcharges on award tickets.
