Arrivals

How do I get Aeroplan points?

Every program that lands in Aeroplan, best rate first. Tap one to see its departures.

1,000 points aren't worth the same everywhere. Hotel points cost less to earn, so 3 : 1 can still be a fair deal.

The Avios family

One currency, seven airlines

British Airways Club is the hub of the Avios family. Amex and RBC send Avios there, and from there they move 1 : 1, free and instantly, to Qatar Airways, Iberia, Finnair, Aer Lingus, Vueling and Loganair.

Before you transfer

Four things to check

  1. 01

    Find the award first

    Transfers are final. Find the seat you want, then move only what you need.

  2. 02

    The names must match

    The name on both accounts has to be the same, or the points can bounce or stall.

  3. 03

    Allow for the wait

    Amex can post in 30 minutes. Hilton says up to 60 days. Seats can go in between.

  4. 04

    Check for a bonus

    Bonuses of 15% to 40% come around often. See what's live before you move. Bonus tracker
