Aeroplan members can now earn points while shopping and dining at the airport
Whether you’re grabbing a quick snack before boarding or picking up last-minute travel essentials, Aeroplan members now have another way to earn points.
Aeroplan recently teamed up with Club Avolta Perks, a global travel rewards program by Avolta, which allows travellers to earn points and get discounts at duty-free stores, convenience stores, and airport restaurants.
“Beginning June 30, 2026, Aeroplan Members can now earn rewards and access exclusive offers across participating airport shopping experiences, from grabbing a pre-flight magazine to browsing duty-free favourites via the Avolta app,” reads a statement from Air Canada.
So, how does it work?
If you’re an Aeroplan member, you can link your Aeroplan and Club Avolta accounts using the Club Avolta app to earn Aeroplan points on eligible purchases at over 900 Avolta airport and travel locations. In addition to discounts, you’ll also have access to offers, rewards, and cross-promotions across Air Canada’s global network and at Avolta’s duty-free, convenience, and participating specialty retail outlets.
Members earn one Aeroplan point for every C$2 spent on eligible in-store purchases at participating Hudson and Dufry locations operated by Avolta. You can also earn points when you use Avolta’s Reserve and Collect online service through the app.

You can start earning points at major Canadian airports, such as Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Calgary International Airport (YYC), and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ). In the U.S., participating outlets include major U.S. airports such as Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), and Chicago O’Hare (ORD).
The partnership is also set to expand later this year.
Earn points for every eligible food and beverage purchase at Avolta’s dining locations, which include casual dining restaurants, quick-serve outlets, bars, and Grab and Go locations. Ultimately, Aeroplan members will be able to earn points at any of the nearly 1,900 participating airport retail and food and beverage outlets across North America.
“Travel starts well before the boarding gate, and we want to make more of it rewarding for our members,” said Scott O’Leary, Vice President, Loyalty and Product at Air Canada. “Our partnership with Avolta brings Aeroplan into moments that are already part of how people travel –grabbing a bite before their flight, picking up a duty-free deal — creating more ways for our members to earn across the entire trip.”
Aeroplan also recently updated its flight reward chart, increasing the number of points needed to redeem flights on certain routes.
