Codeshare mileage accumulation update

Hi everyone

As many of you are aware, there is a bit of trickiness in calculating the number of Status Miles that you'll earn on a codeshare flight marketed by Air Canada, but operated by one of our Star Alliance partners - particularly with those airlines that don't offer a consistent accumulation rate in Economy Class. This is due both to our codeshare agreements, as well as to the fact that Star Alliance member airlines always award miles based on the operating carrier.

I'm pleased to inform you that you will now be able to review the accumulation rate for Status Miles earned on many of our most popular codeshare flights operated by our Star Alliance partners. Beginning today, on the Review Flight Details page of the booking flow at aircanada.com, you will have access to a chart which outlines these details.

You can make note of the booking class applicable to your fare at the top of the Review Flight Details page:
If you have selected a codeshare flight as part of your booking, you can review the codeshare accumulation chart for the airline partner operating your flight by clicking here:
The charts (you can review an example here) reflect the percentage of Status Miles you will earn for distance traveled. As mentioned beneath each chart, should you wish to purchase a specific fare class in order to earn more miles, you will need to contact Air Canada Reservations. As always, all rules pertaining to the Aeroplan program continue to apply.

Also, bear in mind that similar to our broader mileage accumulation policies, these charts will evolve with time. We will certainly be diligent about keeping them updated; however, please understand that mileage accumulation policies are subject to changes which may be initiated at any time by one of our Star Alliance partners.

Note that we currently have charts available for Air Canada codeshare flights operated by Air New Zealand, ANA, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, THAI and SWISS, which can be reviewed directly from here by clicking the name of the partner.

We hope you find this to be helpful, and as always, we appreciate your loyalty.
