Feb 18 Update: Aeroplan discount on Air Canada Gift Cards, Starwood Bonus for Asia Pacific stays, SAA Voyager award flight discount

We're back after a 5 day hiatus! Hope everyone that got a Family Day holiday yesterday were able to take advantage of it and spend time with family!

News, Tips & Tricks
Aeroplan is offering up to a 8,500 mile discount on Air Canada Gift Cards. Even with the discount the redemption isn't that great of value (ie you're getting less than 1 cent per mile) but could be an OK option for those who have more miles than they know what to with them. Find all the details here.

Looks like WestJet will be cancelling their Encore route between Vancouver and Kamloops as of March 1st. (Source Airlineroute.net)
