Not sure if this is news to most people (or if I am a day late and a dollar short), but I read in Wednesday's Globe (Travel Section, page 2) that you can buy 1 hour in an AC simulator for 79,000 Aeroplan points.

So...I checked the "Your Style" section of the AP site and after a bit of digging I found it:

The terms of the reward indicate that three people can have an hour in one of the sims.

Maybe Capt Kangaroo can get some practice .....
