News, Tips & Tricks
Yesterday we brought you the news that WestJet
has ordered Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. At the time of posting we were
unaware of the configuration of seats in the planes. Well according to
WestJet they will be a three cabin plane meaning Economy, Premium
Economy and a true Business Class with lie flat seats. We also learned
that there are plans for WestJet to add their own business class lounges
(not third party ones like Swissport)
Air Canada announced six new winter seasonal routes
today. We see service to a third Australian city out of YVR, albeit for
only three months and the introduction of Montreal to Lima which is Air
Canada’s first Southern Hemisphere service from YUL. (Source Air Canada)

For those of you who like us who still have the Diners Club Club Rewards
MasterCard, one of the transfer partners is ending their relationship
with DC in June. As of June 16th World of Hyatt will no longer
participate as a partner of Club Rewards. This officially ends any means of earning Hyatt points in Canada on credit card spend.
Le Club AccorHotels will now let you redeem points
right at check out instead of having to redeem for e-vouchers first.
Simply ask at reception that you would like to redeem points towards
your stay and you’ll be able to redeem 2,000 points (and multiples there
of) for 40EUR (or equivalent in local currency) off of your stay. Find out more here.
Rewards Canada is pleased to announce our latest partner, Loews Hotels! You can now book this hotel chain via our Book Travel with our partners
