Change fee per booking or per person?
This might be one of the stupidest questions of all time but i'm new to Aeroplan so here goes. If I have an award booking for 3 three people and I want to change the tickets from Economy to Business will the $90 fee be per person or just one $90 charge since we are all booked together. Thanks.

Sometimes it's worth doing though, particularly if you can get a reduction in taxes/YQ, from your original itinerary.

I was under the impression that if its the same flight and just changing classes then there is no fee?

I think the time no fee is applied is if you've already redeemed an AE J class award that has Y segments in it. If the J class segments pop up between the time you purchase the ticket and before travelling, then I think you can call up and request for no fee.

Thanks so much for your help Marlin240.
Do you or anyone else know if the C$90 fee also applies to an infant. I know I will have to pay an additional $50 for the infants move from Economy to Business as the infant fare difference but is there a change fee involved too?

The info on the site re infants is not specific enough. You may have to call in.
As to your other question:
From Flight Rewards Terms and Conditions
CHANGING/CANCELLING CLASSICFLIGHT AND MARKET FARE FLIGHT REWARDS RESERVATIONS
37. Changes to unused flight rewards (i.e. flight date(s), flight time(s), class of service, routing and/or itinerary) may be made up to a minimum of two hours prior to departure. A fee of C$90.00 plus taxes per ticket. This fee is non-refundable.
38. Changes to the flight reward itinerary (e.g. region, destination, class of service, flight date, flight time, seasonality, advance purchase or minimum/maximum stay) may result in additional mileage being required from the original flight reward. Additional miles are collected at the time of change.

The Aeroplan site is a little confusing. Especially with them sometimes quoting me in USD and other times in CAD. I wish they would just stick to one currency.

Are your reward tickets originating in LAX? That might be one reason why you are quoted in $US. Or perhaps it's the credit card used.
Also, on the T&C page, the call centre fee is shown as C$30 plus taxes per ticket (#16.1)
