Which Airport Should You Choose?
This search targets Toronto Pearson (YYZ). Billy Bishop (YTZ) is a separate airport near downtown with a different route network; check it directly if it suits your departure city. Do not book an itinerary that assumes the two airports share a terminal.
Airlines and Programs to Compare
The airline operates the flight; the loyalty program supplies the points used to book it. These are starting options, not a ranking of guaranteed lowest prices. Partner seats and routes depend on your travel dates.

|---|---|---|
| Air Canada | MileagePlus | Search Air Canada flights bookable with MileagePlus when partner award seats are available. |
| United Airlines | MileagePlus | Compare United’s nonstop and connecting itineraries for your dates. |
| American Airlines | AAdvantage | Useful to compare if your departure city is served by American. |

How Many Miles Do You Need?
Compare the complete MileagePlus quote with any suitable AAdvantage or Flying Blue itinerary. Air Canada seats must be available to MileagePlus to appear in that comparison. Check taxes, cabin and total travel time before choosing a lower mileage figure.
Award Booking Tips
- Domestic Canada: compare a direct Air Canada award against its cash fare before adding a connection to save points.
- From Europe or Asia: verify that the long-haul segment is in your selected cabin, not only the short connecting flight.
- Airport changes: keep YYZ and YTZ distinct when combining tickets; include the ground transfer and time between flights.
How to Find and Book an Award
- Add your departure airport to the Toronto search and select your dates, cabin and number of travelers.
- Compare the full itinerary, miles, cash charges and cabin on every segment. Check the booking program before transferring points.
- Book with the airline program that supplies the award. With Gold or Diamond, set an alert for the route and cabin if no suitable seats appear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which program should I try first?
Start with MileagePlus for eligible Air Canada and United flights to YYZ. AAdvantage and Flying Blue add American and Air France/KLM itineraries depending on your departure city.
When should I search for award seats?
Start when your dates are available to book, and compare several days rather than relying on a fixed number of months before departure. Seats can change after the initial release. Our award release guide explains the booking windows; alerts help you check again without repeating the search manually.
Why can the same flight cost different amounts of miles?
Each program sets its own prices and may have access to different award seats. Compare the same flight, cabin and passenger count. An award visible in the operating airline’s program is not a promise that a partner can book it.
