Aeroplan Devaluation - June 2026

[Hunter4vr]

Aeroplan is updating their award chart come June, mainly a 15-20% increase across the board. European short haul business is getting cheaper though.

Well spotted @Hunter4vr - I looked at the AirCanada website and can't see any mention of it. Do you know the exact effective date the new chart kicks in.

No EVA, Thai, Turkish etc

There’s still Thai, just not that great ex AU at the moment, but that might be due to ME issues.

Found SQ all the way from UK to Australia next year.

It’s looking like the good alternative to aeroplan is buying flights ex Asia ATM. Especially with the $2200 business class returns out of CGK.

Doesn’t really make sense to use Aeroplan.

Damn, thought we were onto a winner.

To be fair, AC does offer redemption on many partners that you can mix, even cross-alliance (to some degree), plus the stopover rule is still nice. But this still isn't great news. Search engine is still pretty good (well, at least compared to AV LM).

I did find a TG ex-AU last year, and funny enough less than a week out (around Christmas). Probably more fortunate than anything else, but there we go. The climate around the ME might not be helping at all (BKK is getting a lot of through traffic thanks to the war).

Running out of *A partners for viable redemptions.......
