This is my third day in a row writing about CIBC. I should be taking a break on them by tomorrow. I have been frequently asked whether we can still transfer Aventura points to Aeroplan.
CIBC really decided to up their game on this one. Last month, we saw the expiry of a 20,000 Aeroplan miles sign up bonus, first year fee waived. They ended that promotion by starting a newer and better one. Now, we are seeing 25,000 bonus Aeroplan miles and first year fee waived with the CIBC Aerogold Visa Card for Business.
For those who are looking to book a hotel that you do not plan to stay with very often, because you are more focused on finding the best price to suit your needs. As a result, you may not feel that it is worth the hassle to sign up for the hotel loyalty program. An alternative to this problem is to set your hotel program to earn Aeroplan miles instead of hotel points. This way, you can pool your points into Aeroplan, so that you can save for a reward flight quicker.
In today’s post, I will introduce another small Canadian Airline called First Air, The Airline of the North. First Air is an airline headquartered in Kanata, a suburb in Ottawa, Ontario. It operates services to 34 communities in Nunavut, Nunavik and Northwest Terrorities. Its major hubs is Yellowknife Airport, Iqaluit Airport, and Rankin Inlet Airport.
In today’s post, we will be introducing Central Mountain Air, a Canadian airline based in Smithers, British Columbia. Its major hub is Smithers Airport.
American Airlines and the now former U.S. Airways took another huge step into its full integration. When two airlines of this magnitude, it takes time for every aspect of the merger to go through. This past weekend, US Airways flights have ceased to exist. All the flights that were listed as US Airways or US Airways Express are now listed as American Airlines or American Eagle respectively.
Often times, I am asked which airline frequent flyer program to accrue. My answer has always been the same, it depends on which region of the country that you live. Depending on which part of the country you live in, there are different airline hubs and concentrations.
I plan to start a new Saturday series every few weeks, so long as there is enough relevant updates and promotions to talk about. This series is going to provide news updates and promotions grouped together. I chose Saturday mornings because I think that it is a great day to catch on what was missed during the week.
Starting in May 2016, WOW Air will be coming to Canada. It is actually so far away and anything can happen from now until then. I was initially going to wait a bit longer to see if there are any other developments before writing a post on it. But since I received a question on it, I thought I’d at least provide some initial thoughts.
In today’s post, we will be introducing Calm Air, an airline based in Thompson, Manitoba, Canada. The airline operates services in Northern Manitoba and the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut. Its major hub is the Thompson airport.
