dont put your hard spent $$ into aeroplan in the first place.
Yes, I'm moving to SPG instead, but still have a lot of aeroplan points. Been with aeroplan for a long time, and used to have no problem getting first/business tickets which gives you almost a 9% return on the credit card (although would never pay for first in the first place, so the whole thing is a bit dubious, but sure feels good). =)
Over the past two years though, seen massive decline in availability of first/business tickets (and don't get me started about classicplus). There's never a problem getting economy tickets, but I typically only use this for long haul flights and love the sleepers.
With creativity and using the AC/CO/ANA booking tools
What is the CO tool?
Only downside is not able to get SQ11/12 or SQ25/26 in F through KVS/AP.
Could you decode that part for me? What aren't you able to see via kvs? Is it truly just a shell around ana? Or does it give you access to more (purely in terms of award point booking)?
Thanks!
