The AA Advantage Executive Platinum number with almost no waiting time has ended. Had to wait 16 minutes. Does anyone have the new good number?


According to Wiki in "Starwood Starpoints Transfer To Airline Miles Master Thread" Starwood > Aerplan transfers..."Aeroplan - Names don't need to match. - Usually takes about a day and half to 2 days to transfer."

What's the best star alliance partner to transfer to book a reward flight on AC flight from Toronto to Orlando?
Anything better than United? is it ever worth using Aeroplan?
I have Chase UR points and Amex MR points (have the Biz Plat card).

I booked a United ticket via Aeroplan on Monday the 25th and keep checking back by seat selection for a United confirmation # but it shows to go to United.com. I tried calling them a couple of times the last 2 days but always get a message that they have very big call volume, therefore, cannot take my call. anyone else had this? any advise?

My father booked a ticket for travel on Swiss. ticket was never ticketed =bh found out today a few days before the flight was on the phone for a few hours until he got everything sorted out!!
He asked them why this happened there claiming its a security situation and have to verify each transaction.. asked how he had the miles etc
Aeroplan needs now a PSA  to check if your tickets are actually ticketed.

The AC flight I booked on was cancelled and the passenger was pushed to a 7:40am flight, which is too early for them. Is AC required to give me any other flight available that day? Am I limited to only those flight which are available for Aeroplan rewards?

Is it better to call Aeroplan or AirCanada?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Call Aeroplan  they should be able to help you with flights not showing up. 
try calling from a status account.

Apparently AC/Aeroplan's switch to Amadeus is preventing them from charging lap infant fees for the time being.....

I booked a AC, Aeroplan award flight 9return) for the end of the week and need to switch to tomorrow. There is availability. I waited on hold for 90 minutes today but then had to hand up bc my phone would die. Is there any way to make a change online? Can the regular AC customer service make this change if it is an Aeroplan award flight?

Is this really bc of carona virus or just regular cs standard? This is crazy.

Lol! This CEO makes a new recording every week. At least they answered the phone, they used to just hang up with no option to wait.

It's because of their recent switch to Amadeus. Their call centers have been a disaster for the past few weeks. Many people I've spoken to waited 2+ hours or never got answered.

I've heard that mornings right when they open might be best, and also that selecting french can be much faster. All agents speak english too.

Same happened to me 2 weeks ago. Waited over 2 hours! Once they answered, they were super helpful and even called me back after I got disconnected.
