How could this be any worse? 1 million miles to fly to Europe? If you look at the proposed new chart, ex-North America, all the changes are major increases in cost without a single decrease anywhere. How many people are going to care about a decrease from Africa to Australia, seriously? Aeroplan is based in Canada / North America, not Africa. It is doubtful there are many bookings for 290K miles out of Africa to down under to begin with and must fly back to Africa.

10 years later, the Aeroplan crowd is still the same sheep I remember. Easy to please and appease, no wonder Aeroplan can afford these ridiculous inflation at such amazing pace every other year.
