This route was originally set to launch in May 2020 but due to the pandemic that never happened. The Sun Country flights will being on June 15 and operate twice weekly.

The other airline is Italy's ITA Airways (https://rewardscanada.ca/ita.html). This is the successor to the now defunct Alitalia which flew its last flight on October 14. While ITA Airways doesn't fly to Canada just yet it will most likelty do so within a few years. With that said there are bonus offers to be had from the programs as follows:

One way flights from Vancouver to Minneapolis are pricing at US$150 on the first day:


Meanwhile, you may not be able to fly on ITA Airways out of Canada but if your travels do take you to Italy before the end of the year and you need some flights internally or within Europe you can join their Volare program and earn 10,000 bonus points on the first flight you take with them. Register for the program here.

 ITA Airways also has a status match program in place however they are not matching to any Canadian airline programs at this time. If you hold status with any one of a number of U.S., European, Asian or South American programs you may be able to have your status matched. Learn more here.
