Despite all the negative feedback we hear from travelers with respect to high fees, Aeroplan offers some great rewards opportunities out of many Canadian cities. Turkish Airlines reward flights are very attractive. The airline does not charge high fees like Air Canada or Lufthansa. Let’s see why it makes a lot of sense to fly to Istanbul from Canada with Aeroplan.
Montreal-Istanbul reward flight with Aeroplan

You can find redemptions for Montreal-Istanbul return flights . It’s a direct flight with Turkish Airlines. Aeroplan requires 75,000 miles and a whooping $73.45 in taxes and fees!!!
The exact same return trips costs $1,180 if paid in cash as shown below:

This is definitely a great reward deals. You’re saving $1,107.36. That amount will pay for you entire hotel stay and maybe a little more.

Calgary/Edmonton-Istanbul reward flight with Aeroplan
Great news for Albertans on this reward deal. Via Chicago (ORD) for Calgarians and Toronto Pearson (YYZ) for Edmontonians the Turkish hub is available for less than $85 on way!


Verdict
Turkish Airlines connects direct to Montreal and Toronto. It’s great news for Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec residents. The carrier is one of Star Alliance members that doesn’t hit you with a nasty $550 fee like Lufthansa does. This is one of the top reward deals in Canada if not the best. The airline offers a great level of service.
Having experienced it myself with my family, we were treated with an attention some North American carriers should learn from. See how much we paid to fly to Doha and back from Muscat with Aeroplan.
