cancelling award ticket after departure
Hello all,
I booked a yul-ist, ist-xic, sgn-yul award ticket. I only have the sgn-yul segment left to fly in early december. Im currently in India and will probably just end up buying a del-yul ticket to go home (tickets are so cheap). Are cancelations permitted at this stage? Will I get points or tax/fees back?
Many thanks,
Jacquesrules

You will not get anything back and will forfeit your ticket.
Why don't you just change your return if your original date doesn't work any more?

As Far Siren said, you can change the ticket. In fact, you will just call Aeroplan and ask them to put the ticket "on hold", then you have until date of 1-year of your booking date (according to the rule) to change the ticket and that is when you pay the change fee. In own experience had been 1-year from your departure date of your first segment (i.e. YUL-IST)

Forgot to say that remember you can book an one-way Aeroplan ticket with half the miles of a round-trip. So you can book a YUL-SGN only (or other open-jaw city you want) to match up this ticket that you put it "on hold"

Great info, thanks to both. Thing is I'm in India and flying to sng to catch my award flight would cost 350$ (and trouble) while a del-yul ticket cost only 550$. I'd also like to stay in India as long as possible.
As far as I know, I can't change my sgn-yul ticket to del-yul, right?
