Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for transcontinental routes like Toronto to Vancouver during mid-January to early February, as this is typically when demand is lower and availability is higher.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip in business class from Toronto to Tokyo for 70,000 Aeroplan points, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Consider booking a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via Vancouver (YVR) instead of a direct flight; this can save you approximately 10,000 miles compared to a direct route, totaling around 36,000 miles instead of 46,000 miles for the direct option.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes such as Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you may encounter up to $100 in fees for baggage, seat selection, and other add-ons.
