MONTREAL, September 1, 2022 – Aeroplan, Canada’s leading travel loyalty program, is celebrating Air Canada’s first-ever non-stop service to Southeast Asia with a week of extra, exclusive, member-only deals on direct flights to Bangkok, Thailand.

On now and until September 6, Aeroplan members can redeem special offers on all Air Canada flights to Bangkok, departing between January 9 and April 17, 2023. The deals start at 45,000* Aeroplan points one-way from Vancouver, with flights from the rest of Canada available starting at 50,000 Aeroplan points one-way.

“This unprecedented offer means more Aeroplan members can experience Thailand,” said Mark Nasr, Senior Vice President, Products, Marketing and eCommerce at Air Canada. “This week of special deals is another way Aeroplan continues to deliver value for member loyalty with premium, exclusive experiences, which our members can expect to see more of later this year.”

Air Canada announced this summer it would begin offering direct flights to Bangkok as of December 1, 2022. Operating from Air Canada’s trans-Pacific hub at Vancouver International Airport, the new, seasonal route marks the carrier’s first non-stop service to Southeast Asia, and is currently the only direct route available from North America to Thailand.  

Aeroplan points are redeemable for every available seat on Air Canada flights to more than 1,300 destinations across the globe, and for travel with upwards of 40 airline partners – more than any other travel rewards program in the world.

Aeroplan members can use their points to enhance their entire travel experience, including onboard Wi-Fi, hotels and car rentals, with even more exciting benefits to come later this year. And with Aeroplan Family Sharing, families can easily combine points at no cost to get where they want to go, sooner. 

The base redemption for a flight to Thailand can be as little as 45,000 points but it’s not available on every flight. This promotion makes it much more broadly available. Daily deals are limited and will go fast. Aeroplan members can book now at aircanada.com.
