Aeroplan points
As with most eligible flights operated by a Star Alliance member, you can earn Aeroplan points, which count towards Aeroplan Elite Status. As always, you can also earn Status Qualifying Currency (SQS/SQM/SQD) towards Aeroplan Elite Status. As always, you can redeem your points towards a wide range of Aeroplan rewards.

Saving your Itinerary
There's no need to rush when you use Book and Fly. If you need more time to review your itinerary, you're not quite ready to confirm your trip just yet, or you'd like to consult your travel agent first, you can still take advantage of Book and Fly. Simply build your itinerary with your preferred flights, then print it for your records or save it and retrieve it later on using your Itinerary Reference Number to purchase your ticket.
Keep in mind that saving your itinerary with Book and Fly does not reserve space on the selected flights – it simply maintains a record of your preferred flight options.
