Hey AwardTrailblazers! Want to seriously level up your award travel game? Aeroplan, Air Canada's loyalty program, has this amazing feature where you can add a stopover to your award flights for just 5,000 extra points. Think of it as a bonus vacation within your vacation!

Basically, instead of just flying from point A to point B, you can hang out in point C for a few days (or even longer!) before continuing on. This opens up a world of possibilities for creating crazy cool itineraries. And get this - you can even use "open jaw" tickets (flying into one city and out of another) to maximize your trip even further. Why does this matter? Because you can essentially see two (or more!) destinations for the price of one, or even SAVE points by cleverly routing your flights.

The AwardWallet blog has the full scoop, including some sweet spots and examples. They even show you how to potentially save a whopping 25,000 points on business class flights to Asia. So, next time you're booking an award trip, don't forget to explore the power of Aeroplan stopovers. It's like finding a hidden treasure in the world of points and miles!
