Obviously ANA is preferable if you can find round trip availability. If you can only find one way though Aeroplan allows you to book that for 55k one way and you could use Delta or another program for the other way.
can someone help explain how this works? so if i find a trip with delta how do i get it for 88k round trip in business class with ANA? Do i have to call ANA and ask for united partners? I'm not seeing anything on the ANA website because it says economy only and/or not enough points ( i still need to transfer from amex)
