Any official explanation from AC as to why they're using a different source for mileage calculations? Would be nice if they at least would show points and SQM when you book like UA.

As for "different source", distances vary based on the coordinates used for the airport, potentially how many decimals that's rounded to, and which formula is used to calculate the distance (there's not just one).
Using the example of YYC-IAH, the distances from various sources are:
- Aeroplan (old): 1746
- UA: 1747
- GCMap: 1748
- WebFlyer: 1750
Exactly what AC has changed in their calculations with the new program, who knows.
Would be nice if they at least would show points and SQM when you book like UA.

Anyone notice that UA earnings changed on July 1?
It's now 100/75/50/25 for Y classes, rather than the old 100/50 (which is still implemented in the calculator).
