I thought I'd offer my experience of travelling around the world using Aeroplan as it may help others thinking about Aeroplan or planning itineraries. I stayed 5 days in most places and booked most of my flights 5 days or less before departures, so that restricted my options significantly...

Ideally, I want this itinerary: SYD > TOKYO > BKK > BOM, leaving for Tokyo next week with a few weeks stopover there and in BKK. I'd settle for just SYD > TOKYO next week and then play it by ear. But instead of new flights appearing on Seats.Aero, I'm seeing flights disappearing, probably...

I just saw that Air Canada is suing Seats.aero: https://seats.aero/lawsuit

A bigger variety of direct business flights have appeared from Sydney, e.g. HND, BKK, SFO, LAX, and DEL. I skipped the recent sale due to lack of direct destinations from Sydney, but now they have appeared. ;)

I'm still keeping an eye on online Business Direct flights from Sydney over the last few weeks. The destinations are still limited to: Singapore, Seoul, HCM City, and Vancouver. I wonder how long it can stay like this. It's obviously a bad look for Aeroplan. How long can a business leave...

All of the past week, the availability from Sydney (Direct Business) has been only Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea, and Vancouver. Nothing to Japan. But last week, there were plenty to Japan, and IIRC, some to LAX and SFO. Maybe ANA releases Japan flights in blocks every few weeks or maybe it's...

Oh, there is different levels of Award seats. So if MileagePlus has a flight with a similar number of points, then it should show in Aeroplan? Here's an example for Business Class: MileagePlus: SYD > ICN = 63k points on 5 & 12 & 14 Sep. Aeroplan: SYD > ICN = 60k points on 5 & 12 & 14 Sep - it's...

How do you know if it's "saver awards"? I'm using Seats.aero. Thanks. I must have been doing something wrong.

United were MileagePlus flights. Aeroplan has some problems with scammers, so they aren't showing all the available Award flights. You have to find the flights on MileagePlus, for example, then phone AeroPlan. One Stopover example is SYD to BKK via Japan. It gives Multi-cabin results, not...

Are there many "solo travelers" on walking tours? I want to travel the world alone. I like the idea of walking tours to pass the time, so long as there are no social expectations.

I looked over the weekend and the last two days and there's almost nothing for Direct Business Class international flights from Sydney. But I found that MileagePlus had heaps of Award flights, including BKK and LAX from Sydney. Thai Airways is also available from Sydney. So, as others suggested...

Thanks. That's fantastic. I want to travel the world randomly and in Business class. The biggest costs are usually Europe to USA and USA to Australia. But using that tool, I saw west coast to Australia for around $1800 (using the cheapest points), whereas Google Flights shows $7,300 for the...

1) I just joined Aeroplan, but can't find many flights from Sydney. Is it because Aeroplan points are designed for limited kinds of use? I guess that would make sense, otherwise everyone would use them. For example, when I search Sydney to Bangkok, there are no direct flights even though Thai is...
