Here is your middle of the week update!
News, Tips & Tricks
If you haven’t been on Aeroplan‘s website lately you may not know but a
few weeks they changed the name of their ClassicFlight awards to Fixed
Mileage Flight Rewards and have kept the Market Fare Flight Rewards. The
name change makes sense in terms of explaining what the two offerings
are. To go along with the change Aeroplan has created an infographic
that explains the differences between the two. The screen shot below is
just a part of the infographic, you can view it in its entirety on the Aeroplan site.
Etihad Airways announced that changes will be coming
to their Guest program as of July 8th. As with any major program
overhaul there is good news and bad news. We aren’t going to look at
indepthly but here are some highlights (or lowlights)
- mileage earning is increasing in four fare classes but also decreasing in two fare class,
- they are increasing the number of GuestSeats in Business Class by
20% (lowest award booking level) on some of their busy routes (Toronto
is not one of them), - carrier surcharges are being added to all GuestSeat rewards (ranging from $50 to $150 per sector),
- the number of miles required for GuestSeat rewards are changing.
Some are going down like routes over 6,000 miles in Economy class. This
means Toronto-Abu Dhabi will be available for 25% less miles in Economy
class. Business class seats for flights under 6,000 miles are increasing
and all first class rewards are increasing - Overall the number of miles required for an upgrade are also increasing
You can find all the details of these changes on Etihad’s site.
