๐ฅ Feature Deal ๐ฅ
๐ Route: Toronto or Montreal to Cartagena, Columbia via Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on Arajet
๐ซ Fare: As low as $396 CAD ($293 USD) round trip from Toronto or $389 CAD ($287 USD) round trip from Montreal
This does include a layover when you could fly direct instead. However, there are no red-eye flights and the layovers are short making this a great deal in my opinion!
โ๏ธ Class: Economy
These low prices only include a personal item so plan for more baggage cost if you need it!
๐ Dates: Select dates in November 2023
โ ๏ธ Booking Advice: You can book these deals directly with Arajet but they do charge in USD.
This is where getting a card like the HSBC World Eliteยฎ Mastercardยฎ can come in super handy. There would be no FX fees when paying in USD (only the exchange rate applies)!
๐ฅ Feature Deal ๐ฅ
I featured this deal before but the date availability has changed. If youโre looking for a winter Europe trip you have lots of options! WestJet just significantly dropped prices on their Calgary โ Paris route and most Western Canadian cities can take advantage!
๐ Route: If youโre in Calgary, you are in luck! Fly direct round-trip. If not, WestJet does have great availability for flights to their hub in Calgary and you can usually find a quick layover option.
๐ซ Fare:
๐ฒ Victoria to Paris from $615 round trip (1 layover)
๐๏ธ Vancouver to Paris from $615 round trip (1 layover)

Air Canada Aeroplan Announces 25% Off Points Redemption Flights โ๏ธ
Wow! Just after Air Canada announced a 80% bonus when buying points they piled on the value by also announcing a 25% off sale when redeeming Aeroplan points on select routes. This is great news for people looking to maximize their value when flying on points.
The Details: The 25% off sale must be booked by Sept. 29th and is only eligible on Air Canada operated flights that take place by the end of March. ๐
The Finer Details: Anyone who is familiar with points knows that the real sticking point with flying on points is finding availability. When doing my initial searching I had significant trouble finding redemptions that actually had the 25% off discount applied. ๐
Good News: I was able to find a good amount of availability on certain routes with 25% off. I focused todayโs search on Canadian business class deals - you can find routes with Air Canadaโs Signature Class for 25% off on routes like Vancouver-Toronto, Calgary-Toronto, and Montreal-Vancouver (though always check the seat layout before booking the flight as the planes flying these routes do vary). ๐
Premium Only: If you would like to see the exact dates you can book discounted Business Class flights on Aeroplan points upgrade to premium! If you have a specific route you would like me to check sign-up and let me know. I will include it in my search for the next edition! ๐

May your travels be many and your troubles be few. Until next time! ๐บ๏ธ
