Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. between mid-January and February, as availability often opens up significantly after the holiday season and can be found on routes like New York to London.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 90,000 Aeroplan miles for a round-trip business class ticket from North America to Europe, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) via Vancouver (YVR) instead of direct, saving approximately 5,000 miles on the 70,000 miles required for a direct flight by taking advantage of Air Canada's routing rules.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with United Airlines on routes within the U.S. as they can charge up to $75 for a same-day flight change fee, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
