Today, the alliance is the world\u2019s largest airline network, connecting travelers to more than 1,000 airports in nearly 200 countries.<\/p>\n<p>While Air Canada flies to destinations around the world, its participation in the Star Alliance significantly expands where Aeroplan members can redeem points. Beyond the alliance, Air Canada also partners with dozens of non-alliance airlines, further extending its reach.<\/p>\n<p>Today, travelers can book award flights on every Star Alliance member airline, including Air Canada, plus many of Air Canada\u2019s non-alliance partners \u2014 often without picking up the phone. While a handful of partners are limited to earning only, most are available for redemptions.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a look at the airlines you can book with Aeroplan points, along with redemption strategies to help you unlock maximum value.<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Air_Canada_Partner_Airlines\">Air Canada Partner Airlines<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Star_Alliance\">Star Alliance<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Non-alliance\">Non-alliance<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Aeroplan8217s_Hybrid_Award_Charts\">Aeroplan's Hybrid Award Charts<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Book_Air_Canada_Flights_with_Points\">Book Air Canada Flights with Points<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Book_Star_Alliance_Partners_Using_Aeroplan_Points\">Book Star Alliance Partners Using Aeroplan Points<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Aegean_Airlines\">Aegean Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Air_China\">Air China<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Air_India\">Air India<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Air_New_Zealand\">Air New Zealand<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#ANA\">ANA<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Asiana\">Asiana<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Austrian_Airlines\">Austrian Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Avianca\">Avianca<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Brussels_Airlines\">Brussels Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Copa_Airlines\">Copa Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Croatia_Airlines\">Croatia Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#EgyptAir\">EgyptAir<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Ethiopian_Airlines\">Ethiopian Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#EVA_Air\">EVA Air<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#LOT_Polish_Airlines\">LOT Polish Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Lufthansa\">Lufthansa<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Shenzhen_Airlines\">Shenzhen Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Singapore_Airlines\">Singapore Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#South_African_Airways\">South African Airways<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Swiss_International_Air_Lines\">Swiss International Air Lines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#TAP_Air_Portugal\">TAP Air Portugal<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Thai_Airways\">Thai Airways<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Turkish_Airlines\">Turkish Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#United_Airlines\">United Airlines<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Book_Non-alliance_Aeroplan_Partner_Airlines_Using_Points\">Book Non-alliance Aeroplan Partner Airlines Using Points<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Air_Creebec\">Air Creebec<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Air_Dolomiti\">Air Dolomiti<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Air_Mauritius\">Air Mauritius<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Air_Serbia\">Air Serbia<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#AirBaltic\">AirBaltic<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Azul_Brazilian_Airlines\">Azul Brazilian Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Bamboo_Airways\">Bamboo Airways<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Bearskin_Airlines\">Bearskin Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Calm_Air\">Calm Air<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Canadian_North\">Canadian North<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Cathay_Pacific\">Cathay Pacific<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Discover_Airlines\">Discover Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Edelweiss_Air\">Edelweiss Air<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Emirates\">Emirates<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Etihad_Airways\">Etihad Airways<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Eurowings\">Eurowings<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Flydubai\">Flydubai<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#GOL\">GOL<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Gulf_Air\">Gulf Air<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#ITA_Airways\">ITA Airways<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Juneyao_Airlines\">Juneyao Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Olympic_Air\">Olympic Air<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Oman_Air\">Oman Air<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#PAL_Airlines\">PAL Airlines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#SunExpress\">SunExpress<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Virgin_Australia\">Virgin Australia<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Building_Your_Aeroplan_Balance\">Building Your Aeroplan Balance<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Final_Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"Air_Canada_Partner_Airlines\">Air Canada Partner Airlines<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Aeroplan has an extensive network of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/airline-alliances-and-partnerships\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Star Alliance<\/a> and non-alliance partners, not all of its partner airlines are available for award redemptions.<\/p>\n<p>Including Air Canada itself, Aeroplan members can redeem points across dozens of partner airlines worldwide.

Routes from certain East Coast cities, such as Boston, to Frankfurt come under the 4,000-mile threshold that bumps award costs into the next tier. Notice the much more reasonable, though still a bit high, taxes and fees.<\/p>\n<p>Routes between Frankfurt and the West Coast (and even Washington, D.C.

Business-class bookings between Dubai and North America can climb well into the hundreds of thousands of points each way, and first-class seats, when available, can be even more expensive.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_245839\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"900\/169\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-245839 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-30-at-00.19.05-900x169.png\" alt=\"Washington to Dubai on Emirates through Aeroplan\" width=\"900\" height=\"169\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-30-at-00.19.05-900x169.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-30-at-00.19.05-750x141.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-30-at-00.19.05-768x144.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-30-at-00.19.05-1536x288.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-30-at-00.19.05-2048x384.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><center><em>Screenshot of Air Canada<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/air-canada-aeroplan\/emirates-award-pricing\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Here's How Much You'll Pay When Redeeming Aeroplan Points for Emirates Flights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Etihad_Airways\">Etihad Airways<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Etihad Airways, based out of Abu Dhabi (AUH), allows Aeroplan members to connect to many destinations worldwide with a single connection on a single airline.

Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We'll admit it: That's a lot of reading. But in a few words, Aeroplan gives you access to dozens of partner airlines worldwide. So, no matter where you want to go, Aeroplan points and Air Canada's deep partner network can get you there. Even better, many of these partners are bookable online, though some require a phone call. In the U.S., dial <strong>888-247-2262<\/strong>. Phone agents are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n<p>When booking, remember two details: the value you place on Aeroplan points and alternative ways to pay for your ticket. On average, <a href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/point-mile-values\/air+canada\">AwardWallet users redeem Aeroplan points for 1.87\u00a2 apiece<\/a>. That can be a good rule of thumb for determining whether a redemption is worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the airfare cost and routing, other frequent flyer programs might offer a better redemption. Or, for inexpensive tickets, there might be more value to paying in cash and saving your points for later use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Canada lists a whopping 57 partner airlines on its website.
