I thought I was the only one who noticed this.
We booked YYC-YYJ roundtrip for two people in March, and the total came out to be only around 1900 AirMiles which is not that bad! But in total, we had to pay out over $450.00.
And our flight connected through Kelowna
...which was late by three hours
...just not a good experience.
While we were foolish for even thinking of buying it for that much money, especially when we could have flown direct and paid that much, we were not happy with AirMiles! From now on, we just pay for our hotels by redeeming for the gift certificates.
I'll stick to Aeroplan for now!
