We also dig into Porter's limited-edition 20th birthday drop that has aviation fans losing it, a quiet change Air Canada is making to its cabins that has Graeme rethinking his loyalty, and a wave of new 2027 routes that turns one Canadian city into the month's biggest winner.Then we close with the deals, and right now one Canadian airport is putting out premium fares so low we had to double-check them.

This week on The Canadian Jetsetter Podcast, our weekly show on Canadian aviation news, flight deals, and points with Graeme (founder) and Jer (marketing and partnerships), we’re breaking down one of the best loyalty programs going for Canadians right now: Air France-KLM Flying Blue. The October 2026 promo is a strong one. Economy flights to Europe are going for 18,750 miles one way (down from 25,000) out of five Canadian cities: Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver, flying Air France or KLM into Paris or Amsterdam. We walk through exactly how to find the discounted dates, the booking deadline and travel window, and the catch Vancouver flyers need to know about. We also get into the sneaky side of the promo, including the new Light fare quietly working its way into the discounted award space, and whether it counts as a devaluation. From there it’s all about the miles themselves: the best ways for Canadians to earn Flying Blue, why you should always run the miles-vs-cash comparison before booking, and one under-the-radar sweet spot, using Flying Blue miles to book itineraries on a Canadian airline. Want to go deeper? We point you to our free Flying Blue mini guide and our full Mastering Canadian Travel Points Handbook at the end of the show. Watch to find out.

Welcome to Episode 4 of The Canadian Jetsetter Podcast, our weekly show on Canadian aviation news, flight deals, and points, hosted by Graeme (founder) and Jer (marketing and partnerships). This week is a little different. Graeme spent the last couple of weeks bouncing around the country and ended up flying all four major Canadian airlines back to back: Porter, Air Canada, WestJet, and Flair. He breaks down the good, the bad, and the surprising, including why Porter keeps quietly upgrading people to Reserve for free, and why Air Canada’s newly retrofitted A320 with just 29 inches of pitch might be the one cabin you want to avoid. We also get into which aircraft to actually look for on long domestic routes, because on Air Canada it makes all the difference. Then Jer walks through the Japan trip he just booked for next spring: Montreal to Tokyo and home from Sapporo, with upgraded seats on both ends, all for around $2,000. He shares the exact strategy behind it, including why open-jaw routing, one-way tickets, and a little airport flexibility can beat the traditional round trip every time. We close with the news that Porter is adding five new domestic routes from London, Ontario, and why Porter’s habit of building up the cities everyone else ignores is great news for Canadian flyers.

Welcome to Episode 3 of The Canadian Jetsetter Podcast, our weekly show on Canadian aviation news, flight deals, and points, hosted by Graeme (founder) and Jer (marketing and partnerships). Canada just opened the door to something we've never had before: direct flights to Vietnam. Air Canada has already put its hand up to be first, and we break down where it's likely to fly from, how often, and why this is a big deal for all of North America, not just Canadians. But there's a twist, because as one route opens, another one closes. Then we get into a Finnair Avios sale that's live right now, with up to a 50% bonus on purchased points. We cover whether it's actually worth buying, the best Canadian redemptions to target, and a recent Qatar Airways rule change that quietly works in your favour. Watch to find out.

Air Canada just revealed the largest intercontinental expansion in its history: five brand-new destinations and seven new routes for Summer 2027, including non-stops Canada has never had before.
