Aeroplan awards vs the airline that flies you
Aeroplan is the program you book with; the award itinerary is flown by Aeroplan's own airlines or its partners, who release seats on their own schedules. Below, the furthest open departure AwardTool observed in the last 30 days on Aeroplan award results that showed a single airline.
| Airline (marketing carrier) | Furthest open departure observed | Single-airline results |
|---|---|---|
| Air India (AI) | Oct 10, 2027357 days out | 317 |
| Air Canada (AC) | Oct 7, 2027354 days out | 291 |
| ANA (NH) | Oct 6, 2027353 days out | 16 |
| TAP Portugal (TP) | Sep 29, 2027346 days out | 11 |
| South African Airways (SA) | Sep 27, 2027344 days out | 11 |
| Avianca (AV) | Sep 23, 2027340 days out | 20 |
| United Airlines (UA) | Sep 17, 2027334 days out | 1,858 |
| Oman Air (WY) | Sep 14, 2027331 days out | 18 |
The airline is the marketing carrier, the one that sells the seat; another airline may operate the flight. Partner airlines often release award space later than the program's own flights.
Initial release and later availability
Many programs load an initial batch of award seats when their booking window opens, then add or remove space as departure nears. So a Aeroplan date that shows nothing the day it opens can gain award space later, and space seen today can disappear.
Business- and first-class award space, and partner-airline space, often appear later and in smaller amounts than economy on the program's own flights.
