YYZ to ATL during March Break 2013 - 82000 points
Hello,
I just wanted to get your opinion on this, I am trying to use aeroplan points to book travel during March Break in 2013. I thought I was booking early, but discovered that all the direct flights to Atlanta for that week are 82000 points. The normal points fee is 15000. I checked all the surrounding airports within the short-haul level (15000 points) and they are all booked and at crazy high amounts.
I am in disbelief that the flight is already that fully booked with aeroplan fliers, so I checked the seat map on the AC website and there are 3 booked seats for that flight. It is the same case for Charlotte and Raleigh.
Is this just a case of people booking already or does aeroplan have them blocked off to take more points for the booking....
Let me know your thoughts and hopefully if I wait a little, maybe the seats will open up.
Thanks,
Gino
