I don't blame him for getting a lot of prairie flying done before the weather gets dicey. Although I suspect there are many more such trips in his near future...

Thank You for get my attention on this badge. I stop reading when I see dutyfree, didn't know on-board cafe count as well. I had been trying to find excuse to eat those expensive snack on board

My question is, does this only get the wings of the destination (landing) or both take off + landing. For example YYZ-YUL will get 200 or 300 wings.

I will go buy something on the flight I am on now (damn-it, I missed it on all my flights yesterday)

-- nevermind --

I misunderstood the info. It is the # of Aeroplan miles for that transaction.

And you only earn Aeroplan miles on mainline purchases. EYW runners don't spend much time on mainline

A little over 3 weeks left to book and the 4 mystery badges are still a mystery. Wondering when they plan to start releasing these, or if they will all come out together.

First time playing EYW. Can someone confirm the Rest Up badge?

Sit back, relax, and earn the Rest Up badge (250 Wings) for every take off and every landing when you enjoy the benefits of flying in Premium Economy, Premium Rouge, or Business Class to any eligible North American airport on the Destination and Super Destination badge lists. Eligible booking classes are J,C,D,Z,P,O,E, and N.
I have a PY flight YVR->YUL->YVR. Is this 250 wings (1x "to" destination badge") 500 wings (1x from + 1x to "destination badge") or 1000 wings (4 take off and landing in PY from/to destination badge)?

My suspicion is 250 since there is only 1 segment "to" a destination badge (YUL).

My suspicion is 250 since there is only 1 segment "to" a destination badge (YUL).
The way I understood is as follow:

YVR-YUL (100+200) Destination Wings + 250 Rest Up badge
YUL-YVR (200+100) Destination Wings + 250 Rest Up badge

so, 1,100 wings in total for this trip.

The wordings in T&C:

To earn the Rest Up Badge and the Stretch Out! Badge, any eligible flight segments must be undertaken in the following eligible fare options (booking classes): Premium Economy Lowest and Premium Economy Flexible (O, E, N); Premium Rouge (O, E, N); and Business Class Lowest and Business Class Flexible (J, C, D, Z, P). Upgraded flight segments (eUpgrades, last-minute paid upgrades, Star Alliance Upgrade Awards, etc.) will be tracked for this PROMOTION based on the eligibility of the original Economy Class fare purchased and will not be eligible for these two Cabin Badges.
So, I read it as per flight. Hence, if I link this to an Aeroplan miles posting/transaction, you get 250 (or 500 for Int'l flights) every time when you get that 25%/50% AQM bonus for PY or J.

I read the same. And it you fly from one destination/super destination airport to another in those fare classes, you get the points for both take-off and landing in each segment.

Thanks for pointing out the T&C. Yes, clear now.

how do your earn the miles? I flown twice ...Fort Mac to St. John's with stops in edmonton and Toronto. Then flown st john's to fort mac with flights in toronto and calgary. But I didn't earn any wings or points for any of the flights. I put in my aeroplan number. Was I suppose to do something else?

Wings, if applicable, will usually show up 24-48 hours after the flights have credited to your Aeroplan account. You will not get wings for your flights if the flights were booked prior to September 7 and/or flying on a Tango fare. I am also assuming that you have registered on the Earn Your Wings website

IRROPS and EYE

Can one request badges/wings based on original routing in the case of IRROPS?

I am currently in BUD where LH messed up my return itinerary, which will make me miss out on a decent number of badges and wings...

You can try, but I don't think you will get it, especially if it is not an AC fault that trigger your IRROPS.
