Ukraine International has made plans to start flying
being Toronto and Kiev. The three times per week service is schedule to
start on June 6, 2018. Ukraine International does have their own
frequent flyer program called Panorama Club. We cover Panorama Club
offers over on our global site (see them here)
and will add them shortly to the Rewards Canada bonus offer section. In
all likelihood, based on our tracking of their offers, there will be a
bonus available when the route launches. (Source Routes Online)
In other route news, IAG group which owns British Airways, Iberia,
Aer Lingus etc. has announced the new routes of its new low cost
trans-Atlantic airline Level. Included are flights
between Montreal and Paris Orly airport. The airline will replace the
current OpenSkies airline that British Airways launched many years ago,
Open Skies does not serve Montreal however. The Montreal flights will
launch on July 2 and operate 3 times per week. Find out more here!
We’re going to keep this reminder going in each update until Christmas:
Check out the Give A Mile Flight Hero campaign! The
charity can really use donations of miles to help provide flights to
those who otherwise would be unable to travel to visit terminally ill or
critically sick family and friends. Rewards Canada has pledged to raise
100,000 miles and we are half way there! We are putting the call out to
all of our fans, readers and even new visitors, if you can give please
do so. It can be as little as 1,000 miles! You can find out more and donate here.
