Aeroplan is one of the best ways to book seats on ANA business class for Canadians who are interested in trying the product out. Booking an Aeroplan partner award is very easy online, and we didn’t have to make any calls, just a couple of clicks on Air Canada’s website. We used 150,000 Aeroplan points and $196 CAD in taxes and fees per person to book round-trip tickets.
We had access to this lounge thanks to our American Express Platinum card and a same-day Delta boarding pass. It even beats the Denver Centurion lounge, in my opinion. I did this strategically because the Delta Sky Club at LAX is one of the best lounges I’ve ever been to. We settled on departing from Chicago (ORD) to HND, which meant 13 hours of flight time and access to a Polaris Lounge, which lived up to the hype.įor the way home, we found a flight from HND to LAX and then connected back to Denver on a cheap Delta economy booking. Because we had a shorter stay in the country, we prioritized flying into Haneda (HND) as it’s much closer to Tokyo than Narita (NRT). We booked this trip ten days before departure, which felt crazy! But it meant we were spoiled for choice regarding which routes we wanted to fly.
