Aeroplan tweaks partner award pricing: what Canadian travellers should book now
Short-haul partner awards move up modestly while long-haul Star Alliance business class stays a sweet spot.
Aeroplan has adjusted partner award pricing, with short-haul redemptions rising modestly and several long-haul Star Alliance business class bands unchanged.\n\nFor Canadian travellers, the practical takeaway is to lock in short-haul partner awards before the new pricing fully rolls out, and to keep using Aeroplan for long-haul business class where the dynamic ceiling still compares well against cash fares.\n\nTransfers from Amex Membership Rewards Canada remain instant, so there is no need to speculatively move points until an award is confirmed.
