Air Canada’s Aeroplan Flight Reward Chart

“Effective June 1, we will be making some changes to the Aeroplan Flight Reward Chart,” said Air Canada. “These changes include a combination of increases and decreases, designed to better align reward pricing with our redemption costs on certain partner airlines. We have specifically targeted increases in certain areas where costs have risen, and reduced pricing in markets where costs have come down.”

Essentially, Air Canada has changed how many Aeroplan points it will cost you to book a flight with said points. The costs depend on a variety of factors, including your fare, distance, and region.

While some routes have been lowered, others have jumped up by a fair amount of points. Here’s what the changes look like:
