Aeroplan is quietly one of the best Star Alliance programs out there. With stopover-friendly routing rules, competitive premium cabin pricing, and transfers from all major credit card programs, Aeroplan punches way above its weight. The March 2025 dynamic pricing additions affected some partners, but 35+ airlines still use fixed charts. If you value flexibility and Star Alliance access, Aeroplan deserves serious attention.
Seattle to Tokyo on ANA for just 55,000 points or 90,000 in First Class is exceptional. ANA has world-class products and Aeroplan prices them competitively.
North America to Southeast Asia in Singapore First Class for 130,000 points or Business for 87,500 points. These are some of the best premium cabins in the world.
Book United, Air India, or Turkish Airlines between the U.S. and India for 90,000 points in business class – solid for a long-haul premium cabin.
Economy flights within North America start at just 6,000 points for short distances. Great for domestic hops.
Aeroplan introduced dynamic pricing for Emirates, United, and Etihad starting March 25, 2025. However, all other 35+ partners remain on fixed distance-based charts.
Aeroplan is a top-tier Star Alliance program with competitive pricing, generous routing rules, and broad transfer partner access. The addition of dynamic pricing for a few partners is unfortunate, but 35+ airlines still use fixed charts. Focus on ANA, Singapore Airlines, and leveraging the stopover rules for maximum value.
