Air Canada Aeroplan has once again extended their flexible change policy for Aeroplan flight rewards. The extension now sees Aeroplan waiving change fees on reward tickets until June 30, 2022 and the amount of changes you can make are unlimited. For bookings made by June 30 but changed on or after July 1, 2022 you will have the first change fee waived but any others after that will incur a fee. Applicable change fees will apply to any new bookings that are made on or after July 1. The program does seem to be adjusting these frequently so it is entirely possible they will be extended again in the near future.

  • For changes, you’ll pay the difference in points or receive a partial refund if your new itinerary requires fewer points. In addition, a difference in taxes, fees and charges may apply when changing your itinerary.
  • To make a change to a flight reward call the Aeroplan Contact Centre at 1-800-361-5373. All flight rewards must be changed at least 2 hours prior to departure.

Aeroplan's flight reward cancellation policy remains unchanged.
