New Air Canada and select partners reward chart

Starting March 25^th, 2025, the flight reward chart for Air Canada flights will expand to include United, Emirates, flydubai, Etihad, and our Canadian regional airline partners Canadian North, Calm Air and PAL (Provincial Airlines).

These updates reflect special arrangements we have with these partners, offering improved access to redemption flights, and in some cases, deeper inventory levels.

While the redemption rates under this chart can be higher than our fixed partner award chart and can vary from one itinerary to another, these changes will enable greater availability than before for reward seats on these airlines.

Additionally, we’re happy to announce that, starting March 25th, Etihad Business Class reward inventory will once again be available systemwide. However, there are no changes to Etihad First Class reward availability at this time.

The new “Air Canada and select partners” flight reward chart

The Air Canada section of our flight reward chart will be renamed “Air Canada and select partners.”

Key updates include:

• Simplified redemption details: We’re replacing reward amount ranges with a starting amount (unchanged from the current values) and a new median amount, which will be based on historical Aeroplan Member redemptions with these carriers. This change aims to give our members a better understanding of typical redemption amounts while making the charts easier to navigate.
• The median amounts will be updated every quarter, reflecting redemptions from the previous four quarters for better accuracy. Please note, however, that median amounts may not appear in cases of low redemption volume (e.g., certain international short-haul ranges) or when only one carrier provides redemption options (e.g., First Class ranges with Emirates).
• Discounted redemption rates for Aeroplan Elite Members and credit cardholders will apply to these rewards.

Note that the fixed partner airline rewards chart will otherwise remain unchanged.
