The partnership between @United and @AirCanada just got a major upgrade. We now have reciprocal free Wi-Fi for MileagePlus and Aeroplan members! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
As your Points & Mileage Expert, here is everything you need to know to maximize this perk:
✅ The Benefit: * Aeroplan Members: Get free Wi-Fi on United’s Starlink-equipped flights.
MileagePlus Members: Get free Wi-Fi on Air Canada’s North American & Sun destination flights.
🚀 How to Maximize & Connect:
Link Your Accounts: Ensure your frequent flyer number (either Aeroplan or MileagePlus) is added to your reservation before you board.
The Login: On Air Canada, use your Last Name + Seat Number. On United, use your Date of Birth + Confirmation Code (PNR).
Double Dip: If you’re flying a codeshare flight, you can still earn miles in your preferred program while enjoying the free connection.
💡 Expert Pro-Tip: Want to fly these routes for nearly free? Use "Transferable Points"!
Chase Sapphire Preferred®: Transfer 1:1 to United OR Air Canada.
Amex Gold/Platinum: Transfer 1:1 to Aeroplan (often the best value for Star Alliance domestic flights!).
Capital One Venture X: Transfer 1:1 to Aeroplan.

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.
