ALERT: Cancelled Flights to China due to Coronavirus

ByMatt

You have probably read about the coronavirus outbreak from China and it being spread around the world. Due to this risk, many flights to China have been cancelled, so you will want to check your flights if you are affected. Most airlines are allowing waiving the fees for rebooking your flights. 

Below is a list of airlines that offer direct flights to and from China. For the purposes of this post, I have included Hong Kong, as some of those flights are affected too, though maybe less hard than mainland China flights. 

How to make Economy Air Travel more Comfortable (updated April 20, 2018)

ByMatt

I actually wrote a post about this subject two years ago and I thought it was due for a slight update. As you probably already do, a lot of time is spent collecting miles and points so that we can have a First Class treatment when travelling. Basically, the goal is to earn enough miles and points to redeem for a reward that we would not otherwise use out-of-pocket cash to pay.

However, the majority of people who fly are on economy. So today, I will share some of my personal tips on how I make my economy travel more comfortable.

Best Reward Redemptions for Calgary, Alberta

ByMatt

Today, I continue my best reward redemption series with Calgary, Alberta, as suggested to me by one of my readers.

Keep in mind that Calgary is the fourth largest city in Canada at over 1 million people, which is larger than the entire province of Newfoundland, which I wrote about last time. Therefore, I may not be able to cover every single best option possible, but I will do my best to cover as much as possible. Other suggestions and personal experiences are greatly appreciated, which you can share in the comment section below!

Whether it makes more sense to Redeem for Economy or First/Business Class

ByMatt

There is always going to be a hot debate on whether it makes more sense to redeem for economy or first/business class travel. For the purposes of this post, I will focus more on Aeroplan. But the same concept and calculations apply for any other once you have the formula down.

When the Canadian Dollar is Weak…

ByShirley Huang

As we are moving into the Spring, most people will take advantage to travel before the students are let off from school. For us in Canada, it becomes nicer out, the weather is warmer and you can be sure that your flights will not experience any delays. With the falling Canadian Dollar, it makes things rough for us to cross the border to our neighbours for some cheap outlet shopping.
