If you’re planning on traveling with Air Canada anytime during the next year, you’ll definitely want to take advantage of this offer. Air Canada’s Aeroplan program is a favorite among award travelers thanks to its accessibility, the ability to add in a stopover for just 5,000 extra points, and how easy it can be to earn points.

This new promotion gives you 100% more points on your flights, which is great for economy — but the prospect gets much better if you’re in flying business class. Business class bookings on Air Canada earn 150% of the total mileage flown, and because this promotion doubles all your earnings, your business class ticket will end up granting you a total of 300% of miles flown.

Let’s say you’re taking a flight from Vancouver (YVR) to Bangkok (BKK). A quick peek at Great Circle Mapper shows you that the roundtrip mileage for your trip is 16,966 miles. Your ticket in business class would normally net you 25,449 Aeroplan points, but with this promotion, you’d end up with 50,898 points in your pocket. We value Aeroplan points at 1.5 cents each, which means you’d end up with $763.47 in points — not bad!

Final Thoughts

This is an excellent promotion for Air Canada flyers, though you’ll want to be aware that most codeshare flights aren’t eligible for the bonus. Still, the ability to earn up to 300% on all your flights is a huge deal and can provide a pretty solid return on your business class tickets. If this is something that you’re thinking you’d like to do, make sure to book before January 10, 2023, when the promotion ends.
