Canadian Fifth Freedom Flights
“Fifth freedom” flights are actually a very interested concept. It is the right for an airline to fly between 2 foreign countries on a flight originating or ending in one’s own country. For example, Air China is an airline that originates from China. However, there is a route that flies between Montreal and Havana. All it is really doing is that it flies from Havana to Beijing, but it makes a stop in Montreal.
Air Canada (Aeroplan) | Air Canada (Altitude) (Merged with Air Canada Aeroplan) | Alaska Airlines (Mileage Plan) | Alitalia (MilleMiglia) | American Airlines (AAdvantage) | British Airways (Executive Club - Avios) | Canadian North (Aurora Rewards) | Cathay Pacific (Asia Miles) | Delta Air Lines (SkyMiles) | Etihad Airways (Etihad Guest) | Porter Airlines (VIPorter) | WestJet (WestJet Rewards)

How to Best Use Aeroplan on Star Alliance
When we’re out collecting those Aeroplan miles, it sounds great when we redeemed enough for a free flight across the world. However, this isn’t always the case. A free ticket definitely sounds like a great rewards, but not if those taxes and surcharges end up costing you half a ticket if you were to purchase it.
