Hey Award Trailblazers! Aeroplan just added a new partner airline, and this one's a bit of a hidden gem: Bearskin Airlines. Never heard of them? Don't worry, you're not alone! Bearskin flies to smaller, often overlooked communities in Northern Ontario and Manitoba, Canada.
So, why should you care? Well, if you're planning a trip to explore the great Canadian wilderness, visit family in these regions, or even just want to escape the usual tourist traps, this is a fantastic way to use your Aeroplan points. Instead of paying cash for flights that can sometimes be pricey due to limited competition, you can redeem your points and save some serious loonies.
This partnership opens up new award redemption opportunities to smaller Canadian destinations. Next time you think of your Aeroplan points, don't just think big cities – consider the possibilities for exploring some truly unique and off-the-beaten-path locations in Canada!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
