? hmm....
Aeroplan IKK award redemptions allow Air Canada Super Elite 100k members to redeem upto 10x per year at the standard mileage rates... all the way up to the last positive space economy seat (i.e. as long as flight is not already overbooked)
Also, Aeroplan contract with AC had required a certain % of seats overall available for award use. Granted, only the totals in aggregate had to work out..... so limited/no seats can be common on peak & holiday dates.... for which the answer above to use Super Elite IKK still applies.
