Well, we\u2019ve got good news and bad news.<\/p>\n

To get the bad news out of the way first, Air Canada Aeroplan<\/a> is about to make several award chart changes that will send some award rates higher. The good news, though, is that Aeroplan is providing advance notice, and not all rates are increasing. Even better, some are actually going down.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at what\u2019s changing, along with some thoughts on the awards you should consider booking before these changes take effect.<\/p>\n

Air Canada Aeroplan Award Chart Changes Coming on June 1, 2026<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nobody likes award chart changes (especially when rates go up), but if they\u2019re going to happen, it\u2019s at least a bit more palatable when there\u2019s advance notice. And in this case, Air Canada is offering Aeroplan members a fairly<\/em> long runway.<\/p>\n

These award chart changes won\u2019t take effect until June 1, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Air Canada uses distance- and zone-based award charts, which means the price you\u2019ll pay for an award depends on the regions you\u2019re flying within or between. On top of that, there are also differences in pricing depending on whether you\u2019re flying with Air Canada and select partners (the ones that have dynamic pricing<\/a>, such as United, Emirates, and FlyDubai) or other partners (that don\u2019t have dynamic pricing…yet..like SWISS, Lufthansa, and ANA).<\/p>\n
