I recently tried to redeem my Aeroplan miles for a United Airlines flight; however, there was no availability. But when I logged into MileagePlus, I saw the award flight available. Unfortunately, that means that the reward seat has not been released to Aeroplan yet. As we get closer to the date, if that award availability is not booked, then it will probably be send to Star Alliance partners, including Aeroplan.
It has been a while since I last provided Saturday updates, so I thought I’d do one today. Today’s theme will focus on two Star Alliance members, Air Canada and United Airlines.
You may have already read our post from last week about our flight from Ottawa (YOW) to Amsterdam (AMS). Today, I am writing about the flight between Paris, France (CDG) and Ottawa, Canada (YOW).

Recently, my wife and I took a trip from Ottawa, Canada (YOW) to Amsterdam, Netherlands (AMS) on an Aeroplan fixed rate reward flight.

In May 2015, United Airlines announced that the company will introduce a program which is intended to improve its web security. United will reward miles to hackers who assist in discovering bugs in the airline’s web security systems. However, the catch…
For my Las Vegas flight, I decided to fly United Airlines as I flew them last time. They are also a partner alliance of Aeroplan, my preferred loyalty program. This was the first time I had flown in a Boeing…
I cannot believe that this happened to me again. On my way to the Tokyo Narita Airport, the train got delayed again. Unlike the Air Transat experience, this experience turned out differently. I do understand that it really wasn’t Air…
It is always important to diverse our points portfolio in order to maximize our rewards. Depending on what our purchases are, we can choose the preferred loyalty program to maximize our possible earnings. Let’s put our focus on those who prefer to travel by car; many car rental companies have their own loyalty program, so you are not losing out on possible rewards.
With so many airline loyalty programs out there, it is so difficult to decide which one is best for your travel needs. Recently, my parents have left on a trip to Asia and as I was helping them at the…
