The point is AE is extremely poor value with YQ compared to YQ-less FFPs.
When an Aeroplan ticket costs $1200 in YQ to go to LHR, and other FFPs are charging just the tax on the SAME AIR CANADA FLIGHTS - this truly illustrates the lack of any value of an Aeroplan mile.
I have never said I'm HAPPY to pay the heavy YQ that AP charges. But when I make a booking on points, I want to go on the routing that I prefer, and I want to go on the days that I want.
My post was to say that being AC SE, I have this advantage of being able to access IKK and be able to get the AC connecting flights on the dates I want.
Having to pay a higher YQ is not the point because on a different FFP, I wouldn't be able to access IKK on AC flights being an SE.
