Why this is a sweet spot
Aeroplan's distance-based chart puts US East Coast to Europe at roughly 60,000 points one-way in business class on Star Alliance partners. Paid business fares on the same Lufthansa, Swiss, and Austrian metal routinely cash out at $2,500–$3,500, which locks in 2¢ per point even after Aeroplan's partner surcharge. Chase UR transfers 1:1, so you don't need an Aeroplan-branded card.
Booking notes
- ✓ Aeroplan adds a 39 CAD partner booking fee and partner fuel surcharges that can reach $300 round-trip.
- ✓ Lufthansa releases most long-haul business class space to partners only inside 14 days of departure.
- ✓ Award space varies heavily by origin city — Boston and Newark typically see more release than smaller East Coast airports.
