Has anyone used Aeroplan points to book flights to Tokyo?

Trying to make sense of transfer partners, needed to call to book, getting on an ANA flight, etc

If you have MR you can just transfer directly to ANA. Downside is that the transfer takes days and you must book round trip.

Otherwise you can book the flight through Aeroplan in theory, but you'll have to call them. And in the recent year, they often tell you they can't see the flight, meaning it hasn't been released to partners. Booking through Virgin is cheaper but you'll likely run into the same issue.

Yes things are always changing. Last I checked, they weren't able to book last minute flights or business, but could still do economy or first. Probably different now, but limitations are rampant...

ANA points are usually a much better value unless you have the Aeroplan points already. Unsure if those xfer between each other.

Hello everybody,

Could you please recommend companies with Internships in Front or Back End Development?

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.
