ALL ABOUT ALTITUDE

Air Canada Altitude is designed to enhance the travel experiences of our most frequent flyers. Open to world travellers, businesspeople, adventurers, dreamers, doers and curious people like you, Altitude is your ticket to an ever-growing world of experiences.

 
How to qualify
 
 
 

Reach Air Canada Altitude status based on the number of Altitude Qualifying Miles (AQM) or Altitude Qualifying Segments (AQS) earned on eligible flights operated by Air Canada and the Star Alliance member airlines between January 1 and December 31.

Note that you will also need to complete the Minimum Air Canada Flight Requirement ...Of course, this should be breeze for a jetsetter like you.

Earning AQM & AQS

Travel to over 1,200 destinations worldwide.

For every eligible flight operated by Air Canada and the Star Alliance member airlines, you'll earn AQM and AQS that will help you reach a higher Altitude status. Of course, the AQM you earn are also Aeroplan Miles, which can be redeemed for a range of Aeroplan Rewards. To learn more about the number of AQM and AQS you'll earn when flying, visit aeroplan.com.

 

Early Recognition

Sometimes you arrive sooner than expected.

When you reach a higher 2015 Altitude status prior to October 15, you will be invited to choose your Select Privileges and will enjoy that status immediately for the rest of the benefit year. Note that, this year, with the introduction of the revised Minimum Air Canada Flight Requirement, you will be required to reach the new published criteria in order to secure status in 2016.
