I know a lot of sites advertise good deals for lifemiles from US, but does anyone has experience with using Lifemiles out of Canadian East Coast (preferably Toronto)?
P.S. - this is my first post so if I missed adding any information - do let me know and I will do it pronto.
Cheers,

Aeroplan is the better option if you live in Canada. For lack of a better term, Lifemiles isn't for amateurs. For international flights no loyalty program is going to address the issue of YYZ and the status of 40th busiest airport in the world. You need to get to a big airport and then fly internationally. The better options are Chicago, New York and Washington, DC.
The options are few and far between for award travel now. The airlines don't really need more people flying right now, let alone award travel.
