my wife has the TD Visa Aeroplan card. We’re going to Barbados in 2 weeks and we assumed we’d have the free check in bag for the 4 tickets we purchased.

doing some further research I realized that because I called with my phone to book the flight and used her card. the flight is on my aeroplan number which doesn’t have a TD Visa Aeroplan card.

are we screwed and will have to purchase check in bags or can we call and clarify with an agent. or can I become a secondary card holder under her and link that to my aeroplan. open to any suggestions if I’m screwed here.

she specifically got the card for this trip so we could get the benefit of a check in.

thanks any help and advice would be awesome.

I am flying HEL-YVR on Monday with a connection in Frankfurt. Both segments are operated by Lufthansa. When I log into the Lufthansa app and look at my privileges, it shows that I have First Class Terminal access.

I am a bit confused about how I qualify for this access. I do not hold any status with Lufthansa, and my booking is a business class booking, not first class. Would I get this because I booked a Latitude fare?

When redeeming Aeroplan points are there differences in the preferred pricing based on the credit card tier? For example a TD/CIBC entry card vs. a visa infinite card vs. visa infinite privilege?

Just curious to see if anyone else enjoyed having this credit card and what features attracted you to it and keeps you using it. Do you get a lot of upgrades by having this combine with status.

So I flew ita airways no EDQ nor SQC on my out going flight I did get those points coming back.

It’s over 3 weeks now. How long should I wait before contacting aeroplan / air Canada?

Greetings
New user to the aeroplan privilege card and have a question on maple leaf lounge access.
Can i access air canada lounges when not flying aircanada for example im flying west jet? So basically will my credit card still allow me access to the maple leaf lounges when im flying different airlines besides air canada?

Also, is your lounge access tied to your aeroplan membership number like the free checked baggage perk? Or must i present my credit card at every lounge visit?
Many thanks 🙏

I need to book a last minute trip for a family funeral 2 people x Toronto - Amsterdam return. Booking the same flights at the same fare level, the points option is more expensive. Make this make sense to me.

$1,042.00 + $421.84 fees

104,200 points + $1744.24 fees

Hey everyone. I’m having difficulty with this one. I’ve booked many trips with Aeroplan business class in reasonable amounts (ex: 75k pp to Tokyo, emirates from Dubai to Casablanca, Korea, etc.) always under 80k pp. typically I book about a year out. It’s been at least a year I keep looking and I cannot find ANYTHING remotely close to those prices for much of Asia. I’m looking to visit either Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, or China, etc. not tied down to a specific country. I check several different airports, different dates and they’re always like minimum 200k pp with mixed cabin.

I fly out of Toronto. We’re 2 adults.

My question is: which routes typically are lower amounts? I’m fine to fly somewhere that’s cheaper in points and then take a short flight to the destination/s I want to go to. Ideally I’d like something under 100k pp business class.

Also, has anyone found any recently that are on the cheaper end?? It seems impossible :/

I’m also fine with stopover routes if there’s any you’ve found that make it cheaper. TIA

Air Canada cancelled my flight and sent me via United. I got way less points than on the other segment of my trip, I guess because I was flying a partner airline.

I have submitted a request to get the same points as the other flight. Is Air Canada going to approve this easily?

I checked the fin number and they did the same as westjet. The changed the plane to a broken one and immediately cancelled it “due to safety reasons”. I am so tired of this BS.

I’m trying to fly business on Lufthansa in September, I believe they don’t release award flights until 85 days out. I was thinking of booking economy and then if a business award flight becomes available upgrade.

Is this possible? Or would I have to a refundable fare, cancel when business is available and purchase new fare?

Right now I see a standard reward fare available and latitude reward, can I book standard or should I book latitude?

Thanks in advance.

Back in March 2026, I had a flight that was booked without my Aeroplan number. So afterward I tried to use the app/website to add the missing points. However, that did not work and so I ended up calling their customer service phone number. the support agent was also unable to make it work and suggested that I use their email credits@aircanada.ca. She said all the information I provided to her should have worked but it’s strange that their system couldn’t do it I have sent the email and received an automated acknowledgement email back. So it is now the middle of May and I’m just wondering if others have gone through this same process and how long they waited?

How long does it normally take to receive the gift card from a Milestone benefit? I selected two $150 AC gift cards back in the middle of April, haven’t seen or heard anything from Air Canada/aeroplan about them yet.

Flying YYZ > SAN and wondering whether there are extendable leg rests on the 737 MAX 8 with AC Rouge or if they use older planes without them.

If not, does anyone know which of the other AC fleet has it? (A220, A321)

I have enough Aeroplan points for a return flight from Ottawa to Japan. But I travel with my child and spouse. When I try to book the 3 ticket with points, it says I need to buy more points (which I do not want to do). How can I buy 3 tickets together, but pay for one person with points?

Can I buy 2 tickets with cash and 1 with points online in separate transactions and then call to have them linked together?

I need our tickets to be together for the trip so that we are treated as a family should changes arise.

TIA
