Air Canada’s Aeroplan program uses distance-based award charts to price flights on Air Canada and its airline partners.

How many points you’ll need depends on where you’re flying, the distance of your itinerary, your cabin, and which airline operates your flight. Air Canada and select partners use dynamic award pricing (with published starting prices), while flights on other partner airlines have set prices listed in the charts.

Below, you’ll find the complete Aeroplan award charts, including the most recent pricing changes that took effect June 1, 2026.

Aeroplan Award Chart At a Glance

Aeroplan divides the world into four geographic zones: North America, Atlantic, Pacific, and South America. Each chart covers flights within a zone or between two zones.

  • Red: North America
  • Brown: South America
  • Blue: Atlantic
  • Purple: Pacific
Aeroplan award chart regions
AIR CANADA

All prices are for one-way awards. Distance is calculated using the total miles flown (including connections), rather than the straight-line distance between your origin and destination.

How to Read the Aeroplan Award Chart

Aeroplan’s charts distinguish between two types of award pricing.

Air Canada and select partners use dynamic pricing. Their charts show a “starting at” price, meaning the actual number of points required can be higher. Select partners include United Airlines, Emirates, flydubai, Etihad Airways, Canadian North, Calm Air, Bearskin Airlines, and Provincial Airlines (PAL).

Other airline partners have published award prices. Rather than a starting price, the charts list a specific number of points for each distance band and cabin.

There are two other things to keep in mind:

  • Connections count toward distance. Aeroplan uses the total distance flown, so a connecting itinerary can fall into a higher distance band than a nonstop flight.
  • Median prices aren’t guaranteed. If you look at Air Canada’s official award chart (PDF), you’ll notice median prices listed alongside some starting prices. These are backward-looking numbers, but their inclusion suggests that awards priced above the published starting rate are the norm rather than the exception.

How to Earn Aeroplan Points

You don’t have to fly Air Canada to earn Aeroplan points.

Aeroplan partners with several major transferable credit card rewards programs, including:

  • American Express Membership Rewards
  • Chase Ultimate Rewards
  • Capital One Miles
  • Marriott Bonvoy

Rewards from these programs can be transferred to Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio, though fairly frequent transfer bonuses can make that an even better deal.

You can also earn Aeroplan points through eligible flights, Aeroplan credit cards, and participating travel and shopping partners.
