I work there. A year later, I can confirm this video holds up. One, the amount of seats left also has a pretty deep impact on the price. If a flight is mainly open last minute, there's good chances youl have a decent price. Two, I like the way you use latitude but it has other perks too. Mainly flexibility via free refunds & changes. That's a major plus since we are not offering free changes & refunds anymore. Two bags & preferred seating is in there as well. Lastly, I can also confirm the very high PTS costs. It has been rising to say the least. Always EXPLORE your options before commiting to a price somewhere. Do your research before putting your foot down.

WOW - even after using 8 E Upgrades...he still has 58 left.

Love the thumbnail. Nicely done, Rick!

That was a really helpful demo and also love the cover pic 😂😂😂

With Dynamic pricing I can get yxe-yyz rt in J for 37000 PTS. Previously it was 50K rt in J. When you plan and book ahead, there a tons of sweet spots with dynamic pricing!

I never fly using Air Canada before but this is good info. Thanks for this!

I shall check out that e upgrade vid after this!!

The eupgrade latitude hack is awesome. Using that!!!

Agreed, 1-way flights toronto to haneda, seoul, shanghai are all 175k pt starting, even flights in jan/feb.

This would explain why I just saw a YYC to BKK with 6% in Business Class for only 321K points. One Way!

best thumbnail ever!!

Your videos always add to my knowledge of Aeroplan rewards which is very useful…thank you.

Wow, thank you for the eupgrade clip, super useful! Now I have to find an excuse to use them :)

LOL i think i stared at the thumbnail for a good five minutes!

This was certainly eye opening for me. I love having options. All I need now is the status to pull this off.

Finally just got around to trying this out! I don't know how you figured this out, but hey, it's pretty awesome and the searches are then so personalized relative to aeroplan elite status etc. Cool!!

Saving this walk through for future reference 👍

Awesome video! I was just wondering how to get LatAtt with pts and didn't appreciate that I could use its to get Lat. Thanks!!!

Very helpful demonstration. Thanks

Thanks for this very helpful video. I will certainly be using it, particularly for flights across the oceans. I was wondering how you keep your 50k status when you seem to always fly on points? Do you have a video/article on efficient ways to maximize status miles?

I love the thumbnails 🤣

Thanks this is very helpful

Dynamic pricing just absolutely destroys the Aeroplan program. I'm frankly disgusted with just how horrible it is.

Very informative video ! Thanks for the tips

Whoever did your thumbnail deserves a raise LOL

OMG...re-booking with a better price is awesome!!!

Holy Cr*p! Love this thumbnail haha.

Good tips!

Thanks! Awesome tips!

Ricky, Thank you for all your videos, and your following on your facebook page. It would be great if one day you could do some kind of video for those of us that only use Economy to fly with points , for whatever reason. I have 7 in my family, so using points for trips is always only enough for economy. thanks os much !

From what I've seen most cheap award flights with AC are for less than desirable planes. Even economy fares are very high on the 777 and Dreamliners.

Hi Ricky -- have you heard of Steve Belkin and his just released book: Mileage Maniac. He was featured on CNN Travel

Can I use AC Wallet to pay for my upcoming AC vacation??

On many routes, AC doesn't offer a Latitude class. On others, such as YVR to Tokyo, latitude economy is the same price as basic business class. How does that work?

Needed this one. Thanks!

This is awesome! Didn’t know about this

So explain to me how I can get an upgrade by booking a flight with Air Canada economy level. I don’t understand how I can get upgrades or any bonuses besides using my points for a regular transaction

hey Ricky, were you in Atlanta airport sometime in August? I thought I might have seen you.

wow so many aeroplan points

Hi, I would like to fly to Mumbai from YYZ but i do not see anything under 150k points one way for feb 2023. Please guide best value

Hi, it's possible to make upgrade without elite status just paying extra points (not using credits)?? Thanks

is it worth it to transfer MEMBERSHIP REWARDS from AMEX to AEROPLAN? I currently have 600,000 Aeroplan Points and 250,000 AMEX Points but no AEROPLAN STATUS. Thanks

Ive never seem 5k or 10k awards and i have aeroplan VIP but no 25k status. How is everyone else seeing that?

Can you use your eupgrades for your partner? Or does she need to use her own eupgrades?

Hi Ricky, any experience on buying points to trade off reward flights? Do those points count towards the status evaluation?

Hey Ricky, thanks for sharing - do you have the link to the AE eUpgrade charts?

Make your viewer aware. Marriott will/can cancel your reservations without notification . I booked a Autograph hotel in Lisbon on March 2,2022 with points. . Between 3/2 - 6/20 . The hotel is no longer a Marriott property . My reservation was cancelled and Marriott said is not there problem nothing they can do. The new reservation now cost me from 237,000 pts to 606,000 pts. I have been a member for over 40 years. Titanium Elite member. Marriott is getting too big , has no control ..

If you chose an itinerary that included a partner airline flight and an air canada one eg. YVR-YYZ on Air Canada and YYZ-IAD on United, would the points be a fixed rate as they are for partner airlines?

Bro how to book air india flight through THIS CARD

Hey Ricky, I normally can find only 2 business award seats (YYZ to China) but we are a family of 4. Any tips for me to fly the whole family in business? Many thanks!

First for once. The dynamic pricing has been very skewed to the upside lately...

Does anyone know if Aeroplan is also using dynamic pricing for advanced seat selection? My partner and I booked two identical tickets in the same class of service for an upcoming flight. My cost for advanced seat selection is almost double the other ticket. Air Canada referred us to Aeroplan. Aeroplan at first tried to investigate it as an error, but then refused to do anything and blamed it on dynamic pricing. Doesn't pass the smell test. I've had the worst experiences with Aeroplan since Air Canada bought it back and changed everything.

Subtle flex with 700k Aeroplan points 😂

How long did you take you to get that 600 000+ points

could you answer this short question because i,m having a hard time on the phone with aeroplan. can i book toronto - dublin- porto, portugal for the 5000 point stopover

How do you get e-upgrade points and how much would each point be worth in terms aeroplan points? In other words how many e upgrade points are you willing to offer for a given discount of Aeroplan points?

Hi Ricky, I am a 35K member. If I have enough eupgrade credits for the family (of 4), can I upgrade the full family using this lattitude attitude trick? I heard mixed voices on this, and some said I can only upgrade 1 family member and I have to nominate him/her under my account. Can you clarify? P.S. other family members don't have status with Aeroplan. Thanks!

What site are you using ? Mine does not show even close to yours . I get so confused lol.

Good job with the Drake meme Ricky! It makes me laugh every time I see it. Do more like that yo!

I just got an aeroplane credit card this week. I read it can take 8 weeks to get my welcome offer points. Did it take you guys that long ? Thanks !

so I was looking at business one-way from Toronto to shanghai, saw the point was about 181k, so I transferred all my points (200k)from amex to aeroplan, 3 days later once the transfer is done, business fare was suddenly changed to 341k and I’m stuck now smfh

is it a good deal to get toronto to vegas rd trip for all in 62k APs? loweest economy of course

I have tried to book a trip to Tokyo, even it says eupgrades available before I booked, it says eupgrades not available after I am trying to use the eupgrade, I phoned aircanda, they said they dont know why, anyone experience this?

I hate the waitlist

You don’t say dynamic pricing enough

Next event do it in gta 🔥

Noting that my comments are disappearing from this chain.

now I tried to book 8 month ahead, on latitude , can’t confirm any e upgrade from Vancouver to Tokyo. Cost for business is now 174k points. Any new tricks fo get around this ? Accumulated 700k points because of pandemic , now it’s worthless.

I dropped Aeroplan years ago. Just not worth it.

So basically air canada turned into delta two.

Every single flight shows waitlist. This is complete BS. All these videos that talk about dynamic pricing or eupgrades hold no weight in the present. Flights to Europe are a minimum of 180k in business one way and literally not one single flight shows eupgrade available. They’re all waitlist.

No!! I have no e upgrades. I just don’t want to be ripped off by Aeroplan dynamic pricing. pricing does not seem to be related to anything but individual customer interest. If u are interested by clicking on flight availability the cost skyrockets. This is so WRONG. CONTACTING BBB AND GOVT Wwho is supposed to be policing. We need review that is not co opted by govt.

He’s Asian We gotta believe him right ?!

Aeroplan sucks

He just bought the miles and doing fake video business
