So You Wanna Be a Bostonian Bard... But How Many Aeroplan Points Will It Cost?
Ah, Boston. The city of baked beans, cheering fans (looking at you, Red Sox!), and enough history to make your head spin like a runaway lobster roll. But before you can channel your inner Mark Wahlberg and traipse the Freedom Trail, there's that pesky question: how many Aeroplan points do I need to get there?
Fear not, fellow point-collecting adventurer! We've got you covered. But buckle up, because unlike a Dunkin' Donuts coffee, this answer ain't as straightforward.
The Aeroplan Point Point-Spread: A Decoder Ring for Frequent Flyers
Here's the thing: the number of Aeroplan points you need to fly to Boston from Toronto depends on a few factors, more unpredictable than the weather (although, let's be real, Boston weather can be a rollercoaster too).
Class Act: Economy or Fancy Pants? Craving a window seat and endless bags of peanuts? Economy might be your jam (and it'll cost around 6,000 to 10,000 points). But feeling fancy and wanting to stretch out in business class? Be prepared to shell out 15,000 to 25,000 points (and maybe bring your own snacks, just in case).
Timing is Everything (Especially When It Comes to Deals!) Planning a summer getaway? You might be sharing the plane with more tourists, which could drive the points price up. But a sneaky mid-week trip in the fall? Score! You might snag a cheaper flight.
Aeroplan Elite or Just a Regular Point-Slinger? Being an Aeroplan superstar (think Elite Status) comes with perks, including potentially needing fewer points for that Boston trip. High five to those who've cracked the Aeroplan code!
Remember: These are just estimates, folks. Always check the latest info on the Air Canada website before you book your flight.

Even after you've figured out the point situation, there might be taxes and fees to consider. Think of them as the sprinkles on your Boston cream pie - a necessary evil (and hopefully not too expensive!).
