Priority Pass, the global lounge program that lets travellers pay to access over 600 business class lounges worldwide has added some new lounges to the program that would be of interest to Canadians. The first is the addition of the Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge in New York's La Guardia airport and the second is the addition of Edmonton's Plaza Premium lounge.

If you are an American Airlines AAdvantage member that has lost miles due to them expiring, you have a chance to buy them back as follows:
Eligibility
Miles that expired on or after December 31, 2002 are eligible for reactivation
There's no limit to the number of expired miles you can reactivate
The price to reactivate miles is $200 - $600 (subject to 7.5% federal excise tax), depending on the number of miles reactivated
This offer is available through December 31, 2012
Reactivate MilesOf course it would not be worth to reactivate several thousand miles but if you were unlucky enough to lose large amounts of miles due to expiry then this isn't that bad of deal. If you reactiviate 50,000 miles for $200 you essentially have enough miles for two economy class tickets in North America that are worth more than that $200 (of course not taking into account what those expired miles cost you in the first place) or there is also good value if you can use the miles to boost your balance to redeem for an international business class or first class ticket.
Contact AAdvantage Customer Service at 1-800-882-8880 (ask for "AAdvantage Account" at the Main Menu)
Reactivate rates are as follows, plus 7.5% federal excise tax
$200 - to reactivate 1 - 50,000 expired miles
$400- to reactivate 50,001 - 75,000 expired miles
$600 - to reactivate more than 75,000 expired miles
Rates are charged based on the total number of miles reactivated from one account at one time, regardless of when the miles expired
