Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights to Europe from North America between mid-January and mid-March, as this period often sees lower demand and increased availability, particularly on routes like Toronto to London.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 80,000 Aeroplan miles for a round-trip business class ticket from North America to Northern Europe, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Athens (ATH) via Toronto (YYZ) instead of flying direct, as this can save you approximately 10,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight on the same route.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Air Canada on routes to Europe, as they often impose high surcharges of up to $700 in taxes and fees on award tickets.
