What makes Air Canada Aeroplan different
Aeroplan prices most partner awards on a distance-based chart in the spirit of British Airways Avios, but built around Star Alliance rather than oneworld, so short partner flights can still be efficient even when Air Canada itself does not fly the route. That chart was repriced upward for a wide swath of partner-airline redemptions on June 1, 2026, so a saved trip report or a remembered mileage figure from before that date can no longer be trusted at face value; the current chart on the Aeroplan website is the only reliable source for what a specific route costs today. Star Alliance breadth is the real payoff here: a Canadian-earned Aeroplan balance can reach Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, ANA, and Turkish Airlines award space without ever needing to fly Air Canada at all. Elites also bank a separate currency called eUpgrade credits, spent to bid into a better cabin on an already-ticketed Air Canada flight, a mechanic that keeps upgrades off the main mileage balance entirely.
