I'd like to get award seats for a travel date that I know will be in high demand and don't want to miss out, so if anyone has experience and can tell me what time of day/night Aeroplan loads seats for flights 355 days out, please post.
I booked two sets of reward tickets in Dec 2011. One was for tickets about 355 days out (Nov travel), and the other about half a year out (July/Aug - busy summer season). I monitored daily, and actually several times a day, usually in the morning, at around 8am, 10am, and then at noon, 2pm, 4pm, 8pm, 10pm 12am.
Found that AP loaded AC flights on:
Monday around noon.
Tuesday around noon.
Hope this is easier to understand.
