Aeroplan Elite members can earn up to 20,000 bonus points on Air Canada’s new European routes

Air Canada is pushing their elite members to try out some of their new routes to Europe in 2026 with an excellent bonus to earn up to 20,000 points for flights booked this year. Aeroplan had promised more promotions for their members with the changes coming in 2026 and this could be one of those offers. Although I’d say the pacing of flight offers from AC has been about normal up to this point! Hopefully we’ll see even more offers as we get into 2026.

The up to 20,000 bonus points offer:

Earn up to 20,000 bonus Aeroplan points when you fly on Air Canada between Canada and Palma de Mallorca (PMI), Budapest (BUD) or Catania (CTA). This offer is only for Aeroplan Elite Status Members. Register and book by Dec 31, 25 for travel Jun 4 – Oct 24, 26. Click here to register for this offer.

Bonuses awarded as follows:

  • Earn 20,000 bonus Aeroplan points for Business Class, Premium Economy, and Premium Rouge
  • Earn 10,000 bonus Aeroplan points for Economy Standard, Flex, Comfort, and Latitude

Earning more Aeroplan points on your Air Canada flights

To further boost your earning on your Air Canada flights we recommended using an Aeroplan co-brand card such as the American Express® Aeroplan®* Reserve Card which earns 3 points per dollar spent with Air Canada or the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card which earns 2 points per dollar spent with Air Canada. In addition to the elevated earn rates with these cards they also provided your first checked bag free on Air Canada flights, priority boarding and more!

 

New American Express® Aeroplan®* Reserve Cardmembers can earn up to 85,000 Aeroplan points

  • Earn 60,000 Aeroplan points after spending $7,500 in purchases on your Card within the first 3 months
  • Plus, earn an additional 25,000 Aeroplan points when you spend $2,500 in purchases in month 13
  • That’s up to $2,600 or more in value when you combine your welcome bonus points and card benefits
