Aeroplan posted news on March 1st about Altitude
members and their new benefit of having fuel surcharges removed on award
tickets. This is just a reminder since these changes were announced
back in October (see our post here).
Air Canada Altitude members are no longer paying the fuel surchrage on
Aeroplan award tickets within Canada and between Canada and the U.S. as
of March 1st. Super Elite 100K’s of course now get the fees waived on
International destinations.
