You could always use/abuse the Aeroplan "one free change per booking" for SE's benefit that goes away next year by booking a whole bunch of flights to YWG on various dates/times that are possibly going to suit you, then cancel all the ones you will not be using. All you need is enough points in your account to cover the flights you book.

(Of course it is that kind of behaviour that is almost certainly causing AC to take away this benefit, but for now it's within the rules).
I thought it was only one free change per year? If it's per booking man I feel like an idiot now.

As for doing that.....I do have the points but I just would not ethically be able to do that, sorry!. But I like how you're being creative .

That is possible! But I'd have to tie up probably 14 latitude fares doing that. Also, like above I would feel bad ethically doing that.

Besides, it's not like B vs Y is THAT much of a difference for one way YVR - YWG. And it's a difference I am willing to pay to feel good about what I did :P.

Anyway, not looking to game the system at all! Just wondering if I can use this benefit online or if you have to call in for it :P.
