Air Canada Aeroplan

[Yoel]

Anyone know what are the taxes and fees when using award travel from air Canada?
Are they like BA with crazy fees?

Ex. LGA  - YUL

also

YUL - TLV

Thanks.

If you fly on Air Canada they will be crazy.
Try redeeming on partner airlines.

[me]

LGA - YUL RT 15k miles and $150 taxes

YUL - TLV RT 75k miles and $500 taxes

There is no partner airline that flies NYC - YUL - For that you use the LAN on AA

 when did CO stop their flights?

 EWR-YUL

 when did AC start YUL-TLV service I thought it was out of YYZ

[me]

when did CO stop their flights?

 EWR-YUL

youre right, havent made a ticket since CO became a part of star alliance

when did AC start YUL-TLV service I thought it was out of YYZ

with a stop at yyz of course

[steve2]

youre right, havent made a ticket since CO became a part of star alliance

with a stop at yyz of course

 then why involve YUL at all? why not simply fly straight to YYZ? unless the only way to YYZ was with a stop @ YUL

[me]

when did CO stop their flights?

 EWR-YUL

Also, on CO it would be 25k not 15k

The original question was about YUL

[steve2]

Also, on CO it would be 25k not 15k

 why???

 Im sure its 1 amount for the full say EWR-YYZ-TLV tkt whats the advantage to getting 2 separate tkts?

 Ive already did it a few yrs ago using DL miles EWR (CO)-BOS BOS(AI)-MXP MXP(AI)-TLV and back TLV-MXP-EWR for the same amount as if I was flying DL JFK-TLV non-stop

[steve2]

The original question was about YUL

 I assumed the OP didnt realize that AC flew only YYZ-TLV and not YUL-TLV non-stop

 could very well be a wrong assumption on my part!

If you fly on Air Canada short-hauls are 15K vs. 25K on Star Alliance.

Similar to Continental's 20K short-haul award only good on Continental.

 correct but how much is say NY-YYZ-NY = 15k and how much is YYZ-TLV-YYZ?? then how much would a NY-YYZ-TLV tkt be if its 1 tkt??

 For some reason I think by getting 2 different tkts it will use up more Miles, I can be Wrong, if they want a stop over Id think they would be able to do that on the 1 tkt anyway

[me]

NYC - TLV through YYZ on Aeroplan will still be 75k. I dont think that was the original question though...

 well till the OP clarifys why they wanted NY-YUL then TLV we cant really say

as I said I assumed they thought AC served TLV via YUL, I think they would even be able to book say a NY-YUL-YYZ-TLV with a stop over at YUL , but Im not a Pro with the T&Cs of the AC program. If however the OP wants a stop @ YUL and AC wont allow a stopover on say a NY-YUL-YYZ-TLV tkt then indeed 2 different tkts will be needed

 AC isnt so friendly when it comes to the Other *A Carriers a very hefty premium over what they require.

 I know ANA has its pros with less Mileage (Ok some Cons as well) but I sure wish ALL the Carriers were required to assess the same exact amount of miles no matter whomever you fly on. That is in regards to *A Partners. So if AC had say a relationship with BA then they could charge whatever since BA isnt a *A Partner

I love aeroplan, for everything besides on AC itself, and the fact that a one ways isnt possible.
