BER airport not listed in Aeroplan database; not bookable online
Like others, my summer 2020 travel plans were cancelled. No problem, cancelled the award flight, got the refund. Now I am rebooking for 2021 and Berlin’s new airport is causing a challenge. The Aeroplan site only searches for TXL but next July BER will be in operation. I have booked a one-way flight YYZ-LIS-BER with help from an agent. I will be adding on BER-FCO and FCO-YYZ once my return dates open up. LH has loaded all their flights as BER but AE appears to search TXL. Some airlines seem to load it as TXL (Lot, Austrian) even for next year. Makes it a challenge to search availability. Just a heads up if heading to Berlin you might not see all the availability.

An interesting problem. Did they waive the phone booking fee due to the website issue?
No problem booking revenue tickets to BER on ac.com since it's not the same engine/database, so hopefully this isn't something Aeroplan will leave to languish until the new program.

KVS Tool users should use the [Awards/NH-StarAlliance] Method to search for Award Availability from/to all Berlin airports.
