Newb Question - Rewards Flight with 2 night layover?
I know this is well known to veterans, and that I'd get a quick, accurate answer here.
I'm flying YYZ-ORD-HNL, all same day flights booked with Aeroplan. All business class, if that matters. YYZ-ORD is on AC, and ORD-HNL is on UA. I'd like to stay 2 nights on a layover in Chicago. Doable? any restrictions? If this is a go, we would be flying out this Sunday instead of Tuesday. I appreciate the feedback. I'm just about to call AP to make the change, but wanted to check here for any cautions first. Cheers! |

Rule for rewards containing only Air Canada flight: Two stopovers are permitted in addition to the point of turnaround. One open jaw is permitted in lieu of one stopover. 28.2.2. Rule for rewards containing a minimum of one flight on a Star Alliance partner other than Air Canada: One stopover is permitted in addition to the point of turnaround. One open jaw is permitted in addition to the one stopover. https://www.aeroplan.com/terms_and_conditions.do |
Hmm, I just got off the phone, and she said it's not allowed. It's a one way flight, and I'm not allowed more than 24 hours in the layover... hmmm.
I could book an extra ticket to ORD for 30k miles (in business), which isn't a bad deal for a weekend in Chicago. but, I just checked, and the fees are $245... ugh!! |

The OP's terminology is wrong, which may be part of the problem.
A layover is less than 24 hours in transit. A stopover is 24+ hours. You are not allowed a stopover on one-way rewards. |

For international destinations, less than 24 hours is a connection. Over 24 hours, it's a stopover. Domestic/NA limit is 4 hours instead of 24. Not sure where Hawaii fits. And as already mentioned, no stopovers for one way awards. |
