Hey {{first name | reader}},

Happy Monday!

Aeroplan is currently running one of its better points sales, bringing the purchase price down to around $13.50 per 1,000 points.

I spent some time this weekend searching for what you could actually do with points bought during this sale, and I found four examples I really like. All four are long-haul business class flights, all bookable through Aeroplan, and all priced in a way that makes the math work well.

Here's what's inside today's post:

This one is totally crazy.

Copenhagen to Delhi nonstop on Air India business class for just 40,000 Aeroplan points plus CA$168 in taxes. The flight is 9 hours and 35 minutes on a Boeing 787-8.

The math at the current sale price of $13.50 per 1,000 points:

40,000 points = $540 CA$169 in taxes = around $121 Total: approximately $661

For almost ten hours in business class, $661 is a very low price.

This is exactly where Aeroplan's distance-based award chart creates sweet spots. Following its June 2026 changes, partner business class flights of 2,001 to 4,000 miles within the Atlantic zone price at just 40,000 points. Copenhagen to Delhi falls right in that range, which is why the pricing looks so attractive.

Next up, Brussels to Tokyo Narita nonstop on ANA business class.

The flight is 13 hours and 40 minutes and prices at 92,500 Aeroplan points plus CA$111 in taxes.

The math:

92,500 points = approximately $1,249 CA$111 in taxes = around $80 Total: approximately $1,329

That is a very good price for nearly 14 hours nonstop to Japan in ANA business class. ANA is one of the best airlines in the world for long-haul travel, and Tokyo remains one of the most exciting destinations you can fly to right now.

This is probably my favorite of the four.

Singapore Airlines business class from Frankfurt to Singapore for 92,500 Aeroplan points plus CA$225 in taxes. A 12-hour 35-minute nonstop flight on one of the best airlines in the world.

The math:

92,500 points = approximately $1,249 CA$226 in taxes = around $163 Total: approximately $1,412

Singapore Airlines is one of my favorite airlines, and this is a reminder of something worth saying again: you do not need Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles to fly Singapore Airlines. Aeroplan can be an excellent way to book them, often with more predictable pricing and without the fuel surcharges that some other programs add.

Finally, EVA Air business class from Taipei to Seattle.

An 11-hour nonstop flight pricing at 85,000 Aeroplan points plus CA$129 in taxes.

The math:

85,000 points = approximately $1,148 CA$130 in taxes = around $93 Total: approximately $1,241

EVA Air does not always get the attention it deserves. It is not talked about as much as Singapore Airlines or ANA, but its long-haul business class is excellent and consistently well-reviewed. If you are based in Taipei or connecting through, this is a very clean way to cross the Pacific.

The partner network is the real reason.

You can redeem across the entire Star Alliance plus a long list of additional partners, with Aeroplan now covering more than 45 airline partners. You can also add a stopover to an international award for only 5,000 additional points, which can create some very interesting multi-city itineraries.

Would I buy Aeroplan points at $13.50 per 1,000?

Yes, if I had a redemption like one of these four in mind.

Just search the award availability first. Confirm the space is there, compare the total cost against the cash fare, and then decide. As always, never transfer or buy points until you are certain the booking is possible.

But buying 40,000 points and turning them into almost ten hours of business class for around $661 all-in?

That is exactly why buying points can make sense. That’s what I want you to learn.

That’s it for today!

Catch you in the clouds,
