Buy Maple Leaf lounge passes using Aeroplan point?

[Bjet]

I cannot find information about using Aeroplan point to buy Maple Leave lounge passes. Does it exist?

I did notice something about that but took little notice - if i'm asked to guess it may have been 5,000 points but not really sure

I think AC may have suspended sales of lounge passes

You used to be able to buy Maple Leaf lounge passes using Aeroplan points (I believe it was something like 5,000 Aeroplan points at the time), but that was removed around 2019 from memory. I believe it was removed because the lounges were experiencing overcrowding issues.

With that being said, there are a couple of ways to get Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge access:

• Do you hold Virgin Australia Gold status or better? If so, you'll have access to the Air Canada lounges as part of your Virgin benefit
• Do you hold Qantas Gold or better? If so, you can potentially match your status over to a Star Alliance airline that will give you Gold level status for a period of time (which would include Maple Leaf Lounge access). Some airlines you could match to include United Airlines and Turkish
• If you are booked in Flex, Comfort, Latitude or Premium Economy, access your Air Canada booking from the Air Canada website, and you'll see an option to add a lounge pass (the cost will depend on what fare you are booked into)
