Yup that’s ANA is a good option! if you… 1. have Amex points. Only Amex points transfer to ANA 2. Can find the roundtrip availability. ANA only lets you book round trip award tickets 3. hope availability sticks around during the 2-3 business day transfer time 😬 ANA is a great deal if you can meet all three criteria above. Just more difficult to book. Booking via Air Canada has more flexible option with instant transfers from multiple credit cards, occasional transfer bonuses and easier to add a stopover/connection if needed. Thanks for the suggestion I’ll pin your comment!
@@MaxMilesPoints Another reason, at least in late 2022, is insane ANA fuel surcharges, which are over 800 USD round-trip. To me, that makes Air Canada a better value redemption, especially since it’s an instant transfer.
Just redeemed ANA economy HNL to Japan using Aeroplan points with a 30% boost via Chase at 3 cents per point. On the way back, redeemed Alaska miles for a Japan Airlines 1st class flight Tokyo to NYC at 23 cents per point. Loving this game!
@@911eVoX People can choose how they want to redeem their points. It doesn't have to be business class. Everyone travels differently, economy is ok too!
This video covered exactly what I needed! Thank goodness. I’ll have to fly my family of 5 to wedding in Taiwan then go to Thailand to visit family. Thank you so much! Will not be getting business class but maybe premium economy if I can work everything out. Thank you Max!
Thank you for this video and the previous one with Etihad Airways. I was able to book an around a world trip for me and my fiancée our honeymoon for 2023! Being Canadians it is kinda hard as we don't have much options or routes but I was able to get YYZ - AUH (3 day stopover) - KUL there and SIN - TPE (3 day stopover) - LAX - YYZ back all in business class for 92,500 Aeroplan points each!! Flying Etihad Airways and EVA Air, we are so excited and its all thanks to you and your videos :D
As a Taiwanese and also a pilot working for the airline I can confirm that it's indeed pronounced Evah Air as the Air Traffic Controller worldwide and also the pilots working for EVA Air all pronounce it as Evah. However really wonderful and informative video regarding the redemption, thank you for sharing!
@@Blaze6432 Eva air belongs to Evergreen group in Taiwan . It’s called “Evergreen airlines “ in Taiwanese and Mandarin. So Evah is the right way to pronounce it. You can correct the agent next time when they say E.V.A.
Awesome video Max! I actually did almost the exact same redemption recently for next year, using the extra 5000 points for a stopover to combine Japan and Taiwan! I was surprised to see so much availability on EVA from the west coast.
@@MaxMilesPoints Team west coast! I wonder if this wide open EVA availability is *that* common, or it's a new occurence? If it is just that common, feels like a great way to at least have good availability to travel across the pacific on an amazing airline.. especially with ANA space being hard to come by.
Your How to Videos are some of the best. I watched and followed directions. I was struggling to find availability. Now I have options galore. Thank you!
Can also get a similar deal to Bangkok with aeroplan. Got round trip in business for two for 350k and like $200 from IAD to BKK. Did it during the Amex 30% bonus!
I’m definitely going to do this one day. Can’t wait to eat at the night markets again! I seem to remember reading about how you can go very far past the stopover city. For example, could you theoretically go LAX-TPE-BNE or even to VIE on just 5000 extra points? Thx for another well explained video!
This is really helpful. As a Canadian, I still not quite familiar how to book and maximize my points with flights. Been watching a lot of how to accumulate points. This is exactly what I need. Thank you🎉
Prince of Travel will definitely help you out with maximizing Canadian points. Ricky is a legend. The only downfall is I never want to fly economy ever again
Hey Max - thanks for the video. My travel agent booked me a work trip on EVA flights from Vancouver to Kuala Lumpur, with a transfer in Taipei, in premium economy. I have lots of Aeroplan points - do you know of a way to use those points to upgrade my seat to business class?
Yup Air Canada still charges 5k but in this case the additional flight from TPE to BKK adds enough miles that the itinerary gets bumped to the next award band. LAX - TPE falls in the 5,001 - 7,500 mile band so it 75,000 one way LAX - TPE - BKK falls in the 7,501 - 11,000 miles band so it's 87,500 one way + 5,000 one way a little tricky and didn't want to make the video too long explaining that part 😅
Can you please make a video about booking a flight for one airline on another airline website? Like Qatar can be booked on British airways website or Delta on Virgin Atlantic and so on. Thank you in advanced.
Hey, I really like your video and try to redeem a business class. However, I'm not able to find any business class for the next three month using the same search except depart from LAX and date. Is this normal?
hi! I was using this search and everything is 200k...do you think it's going to come down? or do you think I missed the widow? thx again for always teaching us all your tips and tricks! :)
Is there a reason I can find Eva business class flights on United (I) awards but it’s not shown on Air Canada? It’s like they took off all partner flights..
As of the last couple weeks United is able to see Saver Award space for EVA but other airlines are not able see the same award space. Not sure if it's an error or phantom award space. It's been like this for the last couple of weeks and it's really weird.
It seems Air Canada is rather stingy on the EVA flights for my desired timeframe. I was looking at going thru EVA directly even though Capital One transfers at only a 2:1.5 ratio. Flights to/from the west coast to Asia are 75,000 miles so I suppose 100,000 isn't too bad given the devaluations of CX and others. Have you transferred to EVA and booked an award flight thru them?
Thanks for the great tips. I've tried to book 2 tickets for 2023 from YYZ to TPE to Seoul to HK and return to YYZ, but seems can't get any cheap deal to redeem. I have been playing around from May to Oct, still can't find good deal. Any recommendation? Thanks!
Hey! You can use same strategy to fly to Vietnam too. As mentioned in the video you can use Taipei as a connection or stopover and continue on to other southeast Asian counties like Vietnam
Just used this strategy get a Biz class flight from Da Nang to Seoul for 30k miles on EVA! Neither point.me or seats.aero tracked this route so this was a huge benefit! Since i already had miles with air canada, it made much more sense to go this route vs. 40k points with Delta and have to transfer amex points.
Hi Max - do you have a promo code for Thrifty Traveler or affiliate link? I'm looking to sign up and discovered it through your channel so would love to support.
Awesome video. I am a total newbie here. At this point just collecting points for future travel. Mostly chase. When you got to the part with the round trip at the end of the video, I was unsure how you knew that the return flight would be exactly the same amount of points. I would be afraid to book one way for fear that the return might be something like 300,000 points. All of this is very confusing to me.
Great tips, Max. Two questions: What's the reasoning behind using the old United search website? And is booking flights for multiple passengers in one reservation easy with Air Canada? For example I've booked award travel for myself and family members using my EVA and KrisFlyer account but I need to add those other passengers to my loyalty program profile. However on United as long as I have the points to cover however many passengers, I can put any passenger down onto the tickets. Thanks in advance!
if I don't live in lax or sfo! would you recommend book the flight from my city to lax/sfo to tpe or should I start researching from my city to tpe! which one would be better?
If your city doesn't have non-stop flights to TPE then I recommend first searching from cities that do have non-stop flights to TPE and then figure out if you can add on a connecting leg or you might need to reposition to that other city.
It looks like the business class from canada to Taipei is mixed cabin using about 90-100k aeroplan points, only small % of business class.. am I missing something?
You want to look for nonstop EVA operated flights on Air Canada’s website. You can filter out mixed cabin itineraries you don’t want to fly those mixed class itineraries.
Thanks for the video i am trying to book business to Singapore in Nov. i see Eva air has a great deal 75k miles but how do i transfer air canada Aeroplan points to them? Also air canada is offering discount on buying points so trying to decide to buy them or transfer from my chase or Amex.
Thank you Max. I have family in Taiwan so I'm always looking for cheap ways to get there. Question for you all: I usually fly economy though to make my points/dollars stretch. What's the best way to redeem miles for ECONOMY flights between the US to Taiwan? The method described in this video works well for business class but not for economy. For example, you can find United economy flights for 38.5k points whereas Aeroplan economy flights cost 50k points, so it's not worth it to go through Aeroplan. For my location (Dayton, OH), my best bet seems to be booking CMH -> TPE using United's award travel. Do you guys have better ideas?
Great video Max. Is the 75k points per person OR for 2 people? I found similar flight, but Air Canada is asking for 2x75k + taxes and fees (150k + CA $93) for 2 one-way tickets, so just wanna clarify. Thank you Max
I must be doing something wrong. I've tried to search flights through these partnership websites and I can never find a flight. I try all sorts of dates. British airways never show me AA flights and I can't seem to find united flights through this method. I want in on these deals but I can never find them 😭
Hey so a newbie like me would automatically book on United, how would I know to check Air Canada or other airlines to know I'm getting the cheapest point redemption per flight available?
Why would you book Eva business class on air Canada? There are other Eva partner airlines that charge way less points for the same flight on Eva business class. I just booked the same flight from jfk to tpe non stop for 90000 miles round trip, and it’s without 1.3 transfer bonus. It would cost even less if amex had a transfer bonus.
Maybe some people don’t have Amex points , or maybe some people might be worried about the 48+ hour transfer times from Amex to ANA because of the sparse award availability especially for two business class seats (I’m assuming you booked via ANA), or maybe some people can’t find award availability for round trip which is required if you booked via ANA. Curious to hear what other EVA partner you are thinking about other than ANA.
If I’m booking for my parents, is it better to transfer the points to my air Canada account and book or transfer to my dad’s air Canada account (I have to create it first)
Aeroplan's business awards are pretty tricky. They show up as "business class" MIXED CABIN, which often means the shortest flight is in business, and the longest flight/segment is in economy. This is pretty horrible! Do you have any tips to get around this? For this reason, I don't like using Aeroplan, because you're paying business class pts. for basically an economy flight for the longest leg of your trip.
There’s an option to filter out mixed cabin itineraries. When it’s mixed cabin it’s marked in all caps red text so it’ll be easy to identify what’s mixed and what is not
Hi Max, I'm new to this type of travel hacking. I tried using your tactic but Aeroplan doesn't even offer direct flights from SFO to TPE. They have stops in YVR or SYD or DEL making it an epic long trip. Have they changed their routing since you recorded this? It's kinda not worth the extreme travel time just to max out points.
Thank for responding@@MaxMilesPoints In my case I guess there is no award availability, since Air Canada is not showing any non stops from SFO to TPE on EVA Air.
I was wondering if you have any alternatives to using United to verify EVA award availability (i.e., confirming the EVA ticket isn't phantom). I'm trying to book a flight very, very far out to make sure I snag a seat since getting J to Asia is so competitive right now, and the United calendar does not show dates as far as Air Canada's. Are there any other partner airlines that would show me EVA's award availability 355-360 days out?
Why not transfer to ANA then book EVA. 95000 round trip from JFK to TPE
