Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights to Europe from the East Coast (e.g., New York to London) in early January for travel in late February through early March, as availability tends to open up significantly after the holiday season.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 50,000 Aeroplan miles for a round-trip in business class from the U.S. to Europe, which typically costs around $2,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Use your 50,000 miles to book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Vancouver (YVR) via Toronto (YYZ) instead of direct, as it can save you about 5,000 miles compared to a nonstop flight.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to and from Las Vegas, where they often charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $50 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
