Aeroplan Rash

Looks like my aeroplan points balance is going to get another surge:

Toronto - London Heathrow April 21, 2005
London Heathrow - Toronto April 24, 2005

Yay travel!!

We just might move up in status next year! (And the 8,000+ points you're getting from this trip will help with your BM/Seattle travels.)

[identity profile] c9.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I checked -- we need 25,000 miles for status, and our travels only cover 16,000 or so. :-(

[identity profile] leapfish.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's still 18,000.

[identity profile] leapfish.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
THey haven't fully updated their website then. I saw 18,000 for Prestige just 30 seconds ago.

Yeah, I think that's leftover from 2004, when people would be trying for 2005 status. *sigh* 18 to 25 is a BIG jump...

[identity profile] leapfish.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
No, this was on a general information page. But your information is more correct. Damn! And when I'd finally be within reach of it.

But after 15,000 points, we get free upgrade certificates.

Darn. I'm leaving 10 days before you get there.

Work or play?

[identity profile] cap-hill-latte.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, just read Vinny's blog. Have fun!

I should drop my copy of 'The Irrevernt Guide to London' in some nook in a castle wall or something before I leave so you can pick it up when you get there. :-)

Cool. You'll be able to buy me a ticket somewhere soon, then.

Aeroplan is a psychology experiment by the Star Alliance.

More than once I've chosen Air Canada over a cheaper airline because of the Aeroplan points. But if I would have just put the money I would have saved in the bank, I probably would have been a lot further toward the next trip than I would with the points.

But nothing beats Aeroplan Elite status. I'm all about skipping those lines.

Oh well. I own my addiction now. Almost enough for a trip to New Zealand. I might even go executive and put [livejournal.com profile] nihilicious in steerage.

$538 USD from SEA to LHR on AC... through YYZ...

I guess this means the Suspects in Vegas trip is off then?

Re: damn

[identity profile] leapfish.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
=) You know, I do have enough points...

(Bad! Bad! Does Air Canada offer shock therapy?)

Well, it's not happening in April.

Re: damn

[identity profile] leapfish.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
Our June and July seem open so far, but that's too late for Vegas, eh?

Re: damn

[identity profile] petele.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, how about hte end of March?

Re: damn

[identity profile] petele.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
October or November might work... We could look at doing that.

Re: damn

[identity profile] c9.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
No way it can happen sooner, sorry -- now I'm *really* out of money. Plus work is always insane until after March is over (government year end)...

Crap. I bought my BA ticket too soon.

[identity profile] jpman.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
I miss the days when I could afford to just pick up and go to England... oh, wait, I've never had those days!
