You will continue to be eligible for Aeroplan earning and redemption, access to Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges, and Concierge services in both Calgary and Frankfurt when choosing this destination.” Aeroplan terms seem pretty clear that there is no SQD earn unless it is a star alliance member, so I assume Discover (and Edelweiss) are out. Appreciate hearing especially from anyone who can report on what posted for them on a Discover or Edelweiss flight booked on 014 ticket.
