Another great video thank you Max! I'm looking forward to taking this flight this fall!
So cool, Max! Planning a trip to SE Asia in 2024, so this will be super helpful when it comes time to book. Also, you're killing it - LOVE seeing your growth here on RUclips. Congrats!
You’re really killing it with these videos. Thank you Max!
Love your content! Thank you for showing how to book these step-by-step, it is incredibly useful. I am excited to try Singapore airline Biz class on a long haul in the future.
Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching!
This worked! Thanks so much! Just booked LAX-SIN business for 87k miles🎉
Thank you, this is very helpful, I can finally try Singapore airlines business!
This is awesome, thank you Max please keep it up 👍
These are wonderful videos! They are so very helpful!
Please keep them coming!
Thank you!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
I booked a $50k trip for only 2400$ thanks to you. LIKE WOW you’re the best. WE NEED MORE HOTEL VIDEOS LOL
Saw some availability from NYC to SIN for 87.5K miles which are amazing for a 19 hours non stop flight in business class. Aeroplan has become the top mileage program no doubt!
OMG I needed this in April
Max, you're the man. You make finding good value award flights way easier. Loved this and your Turkish Airlines video. Found a business class flight from Seattle to Vienna via Istanbul then back from Zurich with a stopover in Istanbul for 130 points and $1175 RT for 2 because of your Turkish video. Hope to find a Singapore flight too! Too bad no first class through Aeroplan but Singapore Business is pretty damn good too.
Extremely helpful videos, just subscribed! Looks like award availability on the way back is harder to find (Singapore/SE Asia to SFO or LAX). I have been trying to book an award ticket from Bali back to SF at the end of March from my honeymoon but not finding anything except waitlist options in Singapore directly through krisflyer. Was able to get award tickets to Bali from dubai on emirates via aeroplan using your earlier tip!
Another great video! Even if I don't use the exact information from it, I am learning a lot about how frequent miles work. Thank you for the awesome content!
Glad you find the video helpful 🙌🏼
Excellent as usual. Really good stuff.
Max, I miss you so much!!! I miss your videos bruh!!! This is why I follow you!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!
Love your videos, Max. Keep up the good work!!
thanks! thanks for watching!
You have THE BEST content. I follow you on IG and have subscribed since last year. I purchased a spreadsheet from you. You are terrific! I so appreciate your how to videos as a bit of a noob in this hobby. Thank you so much.
Glad you find the videos helpful! Thanks for subscribing and watching!
Best content ever
🙌🏼thanks!
Nice work around! Awesome work thank you!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for creating this amazing content, Max - I was able to book a trip to Thailand with Etihad and Singaport using my aeroplan
Best CONTENT ever. Straight up facts.
Can you do a series for specific destinations and how to redeem points?
For example, How to travel to vietnam on points, not because its my hometown lol😂😂
Even though I don’t see much of ANA rewards availability. This will work too! Thank you! 👍🏻
Another thing to mention is that Amex transfer redemption on aeroplan is 1:1 when krisflyer is now 2:1 and going up to 3:1 next month! Thank you so much!
Great vid 🙌🏻 I’m pretty seasoned at booking aeroplan by now and cannot find anything between now and end of August. Is there any way to show availability of reward flights so we don’t have to search every date combo? The flights I’m getting are 24-48 hr legs with connections from both sfo and Yvr to Singapore. Keep up great work!
Thank you Max!! BTW I have noticed that for certain flights even though I can find seats on two individual flights (A-B and then B-C), when I research directly (A-C) it didn’t show the route of A-B-C somehow… have you ever experienced this kind of issue? Thx!
amazing video
Thanks Max! But it looks like the 5k stopover option is gone? It shows to me the same miles as booking two separate tickets.
Max:Thank you for your helpful video, I looking for Lax to Pvg business class, which airline miles can apply for?
This is exactly how I booked our trip to manila with 5 days stop over at japan for 92.5k aeroplan points! I wanted to book ana biz class but they only have 1 seat availability and im traveling with my mom. Can’t wait for august to come! My mom is really excited for her 1st biz class flight. As always thank youu for the info!
Hi Max - wanted to share that thanks to this video and your tips, I was able to make my first J redemption ever using Aeroplan and Amex points! I got lucky and found award space flying Singapore Airlines from JFK to SIN and then on to Bali. Thanks for all you do, I'm super excited to experience SQ business class!
Did you have to call to confirm availability before transfer point? TIA
@@lenadao5148 I didn't call beforehand, just kept an eye on the Air Canada website to double check availability.
Can you do a video on the best/cheapest way to fly to Dubai from London on points?
Great video.
I dont have that much pts, thinking tp buy economy or premium economy, and then upgrade to biz using pts. Hope you can make a video on best way to do this...... looking to fly from sfo to malaysia, on a Sin airljne
I love aeroplan
Great videos Max👍👊 I wanted to let you know that recently, I have been unable to see the weekly flight options on Aeroplan. I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue, or if it's just affecting me
I thought you should be aware of this, in case you were planning to use Aeroplan for any upcoming travel arrangements. It might be a good idea to check with their customer support team to see if there are any known issues that are causing this problem.
Please let me know swell. Thanks 🙏& Keep up the good work.
I am running into this same issue while searching for flights. Very frustrating!
Im very new to this and learning how to redeem miles cheaper way. Would this still work if departing from MNL to SFO ? Also all the examples are searched one way should i search again for return flight separately ? SFO-MNL?
Have you ever purchased a flight in economy or premium economy with cash and then upgraded with points or vice versa?? I'm interested and learning how to do that to stretch my points
I booked LAX to NRT on SQ using Aeroplan for 75k/pp for dec 23. What a great redemption!
Hey @MaxMilesPoints, I’m curious if this only works with SQ flights out of North America. I was looking at flights between Asian countries and couldn’t find it in the Air Canada app…?
Thanks for this awesome video! Do you have any information about how often Krisflyer waitlist reservations go through? It says I'll know 2 weeks before departure but I'm afraid by that point it'll be too late to find another award flight..
I’d say you shouldn’t expect to cleared off the waitlist 😕. I waitlisted over a dozen flights before and none of them cleared.
I noticed that lots of the availability, even across the pacific, have as many as 5 J seats per flight, which is a huge deal if you're travelling with more than just 1-2 people. Recently booked a trip from the west coast -> SIN, and SIN -> Japan/Korea for 4 people. Getting award space for that many people in a top tier airline for good redemption value is close to unheard of!
How come it seems like singapore on aeroplan only has 2 seats availability for business class every flight?
How were you able to book Japan for after SIN?
Thank you!
Do you happen to know if they release 4 seat per fight? I have a family of 4 but when I search for 4 it not available but show available for 2.
This sounds great but not sure if it works the other way from Asia back to US. I was trying to book from Hanoi to LAX and couldn’t find business award from Air Canada for this route. On Singapore website, the route from HAN to LAX is 107K Krisflyer miles.
New sub! Need your information!
Is it possible to do the maximization trip with the next one being Japan? I tried the strategy in the video and confirmed that they have SIN to HND but when I try to do SFO to HND, it doesn't pull anything up for Singapore Airlines.
Can you kindly do a video on a flight to Zanzibar from IAD please?
can not get the same result with 80K miles for business class if going to HKG or other places within the 11,000 miles option. do you know why and what can we do about it?
How much do you usually pay in fees for a business flight covered by points ?
Just did a check. I don't think I could find any business from SFO to Sin or Taiwan with business class. Mixed cabin sure but it requires layover, ugh!
Hi max question when you are traveling with air Canada business class they give you free luggage?
Hey I can't find any direct flights with Aeroplan, they always have to go through Air Canada and then Singapore airlines. Did they chage it?
Great info! 🤙🏼🤙🏼 TY.
What if you want to go to Israel (TLV)
hello! I'm looking up LAX-SIN and it's giving me biz class with "mixed cabin" in small print -- what does that mean? thx!
Do you know if Air Canada would allow a booking from LAX-SIN-JNB? I can't find if they have any rules against this type of routing. I would assume the ticket cost would be 115,000 Aeroplan points for business class considering that Singapore shows Saver award availability.
Max, how many points does it now for December 2023? I found the price is ridicious. Ugh.
How about first class? I'm finding awards on singapore, but not on aircanda. Am I missing something?
Did Air Canada change their flight search engine? I can no longer see the week of availability and now just one day?
why when i search there's no nice point like your, only mixed cabin and also operated by other airlines. i would like singapore airline only. how to get the best date?
Do stop overs also work with Asia Miles?
So I purchased a flight with points via Aeroplan to New Zealand, how do you insure the flight should something go wrong (health issues, death in the family, etc.). After searching the internet I can see that flights purchased with points are not insurable. Can I go back and pay for cancellation insurance? I purchased the return with United.
Can you please also do a video on the return ticket from Asia to USA? I normally find it very expensive from Asia to USA.
Hi, it’s the same process in reverse
Finished watching your video. Trying to do LAX to SIN for June 2024. I see availability on Singapore site. But when I go into Aeroplan to search it does not show for the same dates. Only show flights operated by Air Canada. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated thanks
Hey! How do Aeroplane points get deposited for the chase AP card?
I'm trying to find a flight from LAX to BKK. I went onto Air Canada website and followed your video to look up Singapore airline flight but only Air Canada and United Airlines are the airlines offering flight to BKK. Did air Canada stop partnership with Singapore airline?
I just searched a year in advance and cannot find any business class flights with Singapore Airlines from San Francisco to Singapore.
Wish I'd seen this before I booked.
If I wish part of the travel in First?. Toronto YYZ to Manila. F is only part of the itinerary.
I can't wait for you and Prince of Travel to do a Collab
@princeoftravel
Does it work for economy class too?
Tried searching for both EK and SQ J availability though Aeroplan but I was unable to find any seats, would you know why?
Because they're limited abd hard to find and released randomly. These videos make it seem there's so much available and even if they were, videos like this make them harder to find
I was transferring points from Chase. It took 30hrs and my flight was gone 😭
They have no ongoing flights to ICN
Hello, I would love some help, tips, or ideas for an upcoming trip. I have a collection of Chase Ultimate Reward points and I am trying to figure out how best to use them!
My wife and I are traveling from Phuket to Los Angeles on either July 7th/8th of this year and we are trying to figure out how best to use our points to book airfare. We are not sure which travel partners to transfer points to, or if we should just book through the Ultimate Rewards Portal. Our goal is to maximize our points and hopefully have economy extra legroom seats or better. Please help if you can!
Hey, if you dates are fixed I recommend buying a day pass for Point.me (www.point.me/?pid=300) (affiliate link). It'll search 33 different airline programs and give you real-time award availability and tell you which option is the best option to redeem your Chase Ultimate Rewards points.
@@MaxMilesPoints Thank you!
Hi Max, thanks for the video good contents as always. I searched several dates on Singapore’s website which shows award availability but when I use Aeroplan instead to search for the same day, the flights do not show up, do you have any ideas why that happen? Am I doing anything wrong?
The same thing is happening to me as well. Not sure what im doing wrong. Found multiple award availability on singapore airlines but only showing non stop flights from united airlines on Aeroplan
Experienced the same thing. Availability shows on Singapore and not on Aeroplan.
Singapore Airlines stop doing their stopover option? One of the ones I did pre-pandemic was JFK-FRA-SIN, stopover in FRA.
On saver awards you must book round-trip to get one stopover
Random question, Max. Are there any benefits that you don't have access to if you book via Aeroplan instead of directly with the KrisFlyer program? Specifically, I was wondering if a ticket through Aeroplan still allows someone to use Book-the-Cook feature (if leaving out of SIN) and access the Business Lounge at Changi? Thanks for your amazing tutorials!
Book the cook is first class no?
All the benefits are still the same. I just checked with my recent booking. You can manage your aeroplan booking with singapore website. You just have to enter your booking reference on singapore airlines website and it’ll be able to find your flight. From then, you are able to book the cook or edit other flight details.
I was wrong. Book the cook is offered in business class on flights over 1.5 hours!
Thanks for the info! I love being able to Book-the-Cook so it’s good to hear it’s an option.
Can someone help me book first class from austin to Delhi with Amex points?
Does Aeroplan ever offer transfer bonuses? Especially for Capital one venture?
We haven't seen a transfer bonus for Aeroplan for Capital One. But we've seen it for Amex and Chase in the past
Aeroplan is going crazy 🎉 Speaking of maximizing, is there any rhyme or reason to when transfer bonuses are announced, for any of the airlines programs?
Hard to predict when transfer bonuses come around, so to answer you question no real rhyme or reason
@@MaxMilesPoints I took a look at Frequent Miler’s page where they archive transfer bonuses. I see the last two years have had almost no bonuses in January and very few in all of Q1. Not much to go on, but that tells me not to wait around this time of year for bonuses before booking stuff. Thx for your videos. I watch them all.
Great video!
Just a flag here, after 1 year of the realize of this video, this doesn’t work….😢
How did you choose your seats once you booked your flight on Aeroplan? I booked a Turkish airlines flight on Aeroplan but am unable to choose my seats. Please help!
Air cananda should've given you a turkish airlines confirmation number. Look for that and then go to the turkish airlines website with that confirmation number and pick your seat
@@MaxMilesPoints thank you so much! I really appreciate it
i did the same search and did not find any direct flight from SFO to Singapore...did not work
Still works. Award availability changes often. I can’t control what award availability is available. This is the award space from a week ago 08/25

For some reason when I search EWR to SIN flights on Air Canada, none of the non-stop Singapore Airlines flights show up. Anyone know why?
same. not even as an option on airlines, not a single flight. yesterday I did see from lax-hnd 75k. but not today. only eva air and Ana :(
This is only 1 way right? So, if we do the round trip, it will be double the mileage.
Yup correct. Double the amount for round trip!
The availability of these kinds of redemptions are very limited. However, if you can find them, book them!
I looked at booking Business Class to Zurich, where the Direct flight in Business was about 222,000 points. I used your partnered airline method and found a Swiss Flight (SWISS is part of Star Alliance) flying from Toronto to Chicago to Zurich for 87,000 points. This seemed like a great deal, but when I looked at the details, it was Business class only to Chicago and Economy to Zurich, which defeats the purpose since the long haul of the trip is from Chicago to Zurich, where you want to be in Business and not Economy. Why would Aeroplan/ Air Canada even bother to advertise this on their Site as Business Class when most of the flight would be economy?
It's their way of maybe tricking people in thinking they are booking full business class. They usually show Mixed Class and a % on the search results. You can also filter out to exclude Mixed Class itineraries too to avoid accidentally booking one of those
If these miles can't be used to pay my mortgage then they are meant to be spent. You don't have to always fly business or 1st to another side of planet. Maybe a 4 day break economy from JFK TO LHR 😉
Did Aeroplan catch on? Not seeing any cheap ones like this now
It’s not a secret , this is a redemption Aeroplan chooses to offer. Availability might be sparse which is the reason why you aren’t seeing it. Look into flights 11+ months in advance and you might find a a few flights
@@MaxMilesPoints Right on I'll keep that in mind. Definitely still getting more value through Aeroplan than Chase so thanks for the recommendation
What about economy?
Same process , it’ll just require less points!
No availability during times you actually want to travel.
I don't see how you are saving money by saving on points. The difference is 19.5k points but what is the cash equivalent to Aeroplan's $74CA? You didn't address this. Isn't it more like 26 CAD? If so, then 107k points is the better deal.
Brother. I am Travel Agent. Actually i want to Ticket Business. But how can start i Don't. Where i can get this pts/ points. Can you help me any thing?
What?
Ghost redemption they do not exist
The info in these videos are only good for US travellers… as a Canadian I cannot use any of this info.
Why not? It's literally Aeroplan. Just hop over to the states if us starting flights
Due to job and other obligations, not everyone has the luxury to book vacations 10 months in advance.
But most people can request vacation time well in advance. Obv if you have a lot of other things going on, then this is not for you
👍🎉💐🇨🇦
How do I know that Aeroplan is the cheapest portal for example to book the flight for Turkish arilines? Not Avianca Lifemiles or something else in Star Allience? How do I spot the cheapest ticket in points?
Good question! In this case Singapore airlines business class it’s not bookable via other star alliance partners. So only options are Aeroplan and Singapore so just compare the two. In other situations once you find that saver award space you’ll have to shop around with the other airlines. Searching United, searching Avianca and Turkish. The more you search you’ll start to pick up that some airline programs are better than others at seeing award space. So really you just need to shop around and search Star alliance partner to:
1. See the award space
2. See what they are charging
@@MaxMilesPoints so just check all airline portal and see what is the cheapest version to book a ticket correct?
