Aeroplan Devaluation - June 2026

[goldenhorn]

Brilliant timing. I need to book my return flights from Japan. So this is perfect. I'm getting a 90% bonus on over 70,000 points.

EDIT: Ok I spoke too soon. Availability Japan to AU is non-existent. I could pay for ZipAir to get to SIN, but even SIN-AU sucks 11 months out.

Best I can find is SIN-DRW-BNE with a 13-hour layover in DRW or SIN-ADL-BNE for 45K and not great timings with overnight flights and not enough time to sleep (sub 6 hours). I guess I'll have to suck it up and book one of these.

Half the advertised partners are non-existent.
No flights to US
Basically no ANA/EVA
No Turkish
No Ethiopian

Prices going up.
Avoid.

True, but VA (QR) wide open on all flights to DOH. Connections onwards on MS to anywhere.

I found BR, business class, from multiple Euro cities to BNE, as long as you stop in TPE for more than 1 day.
