Dec 12 Update: Air Canada chooses 737 Max for narrow body fleet, British Airways enhances Household accounts, Bonus Points at Four Points Edmundston

Today's update is running a bit late.....

News, Tips & Tricks

Air Canada has announced that they have selected the Boeing 737 Max series of aircraft to replace their narrow body Airbus fleet. Deliveries of the aircraft are scheduled for 2017-2021. Some frequent flyers are already unhappy at this move as the 737 Max's fuselage is narrower than the Airbus A320NEO aircraft that were also being considered which may mean narrower seats.

British Airways Executive Club had a great announcement for their members who have household accounts or have been considering them. Previously members of BAEC who created household accounts could only redeem their pooled Avios for those members who held the same address as the primary member. Now members can name up to 5 family and/friends who are not in the same household to be part of the household account. One caveat is that once you add a member, they have to stay on the account for six months before you can remove them. (Thanks for Rewards Canada reader Fred for the details) More details on household accounts can be found here.
