How Aeroplan prices awards

Awards are priced by region pair and flown distance, with separate charts for Air Canada flights and partner flights. Aeroplan also sells upgrades, hotel bookings and car rentals through its own portal.

What raises or lowers the value

Because Aeroplan prices partner awards on its own chart and allows a stopover on one-way awards for a fixed points surcharge, it is frequently researched by travellers planning multi-carrier Star Alliance itineraries.

Expiry and devaluation

Points remain valid while the account records qualifying activity within the programme's stated inactivity window. Confirm the current rule directly with Air Canada before relying on it.

Buying and selling context

Air Canada sells and gifts Aeroplan points directly through its official website. Buying from the airline is always an option worth comparing against any third-party quote.
