Avis is giving five British Airways Club members 100,000 Avios each for rentals booked by August 25 and completed by November 16, 2026. No registration needed, just a 48-hour minimum rental via Avios.com.

Three New Aeroplan Routes: Sun and Ski, Book Early

Air Canada's new winter routes open three fresh Aeroplan sweet spots. The Vancouver-Sapporo service is the only North American nonstop to Hokkaido, with 20 Signature Class seats on the 787-9. Montreal and Toronto each get Tenerife service on the A321XLR, offering warm-weather escapes. These routes run from late October through April, with Sapporo starting December 17. Award availability will be tight given the limited frequencies, so book at schedule open.
