Phantom seats
Partner awards high
Phantom partner space on Aeroplan was widely reported this year, including ANA, JAL and Copa. One poster had dates confirmed by an agent after a 2-hour hold and still couldn't book any of them.

Account rules
- Check for mixed cabinsAeroplan now hides the "mixed cabin" notice until you hover over each flight. Make sure every long leg is actually in business.Source · checked Oct 2026
- First transfer to a new accountTransfers into a brand-new Aeroplan account have taken 1–4 days, apparently a fraud check; later transfers are usually instant. Open the account early and send a small amount first. One poster says adding profile details (like a traveler) sped it up.Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · checked Oct 2026
