Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for travel to Europe, specifically routes from Toronto to London, during the last two weeks of January for the best availability and lowest mileage redemption.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Chicago (ORD) to Tokyo (NRT) for 70,000 Aeroplan miles round-trip, which typically costs around $1,200 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via Vancouver (YVR) for 70,000 miles instead of the standard 80,000 miles for a direct route, saving 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $50 for seat selection, significantly increasing your travel costs.
