After a successful summer launch, Air Canada is once again allowing its members to use Aeroplan miles for non-air rewards, including hotel stays, car rentals and ski packages. Here’s a breakdown of some of the awards:
Ski packages
Aeroplan members can exchange their miles for three- or five-day ski packages including accommodations and ski lift tickets at Intrawest resorts Mont Tremblant (Quebec), Blue Mountain Resorts (Ontario) and Whistler Blackcomb and Panorama Resorts (British Columbia). Ski packages start at 25,000 Aeroplan miles per person.
Heli-ski packages
Feeling adventurous? Aeroplan members can redeem their miles for a heli-ski adventure from April 12 through April 19 in the Selkirk Mountains. The package includes a return flight in Executive Class to Calgary from any destination in Canada or the Continental United States served by Air Canada, transportation to and from the Calgary Airport, accommodations and meals at the Adamant Lodge and 100,000 vertical feet of skiing with certified professional mountain guides. The heli-ski package starts at 700,000 Aeroplan miles per person.
