Weekend Escape to Montreal π¨π¦
Montreal is a city that captivates with its blend of European charm & North American energy, offering a vibrant arts scene, mouth-watering cuisine, and neighborhoods rich in history. With just under 48 hours you can dive deep into the cityβs iconic sights and savor its culinary offerings

John asked me to put together a 48 hours itinerary for him and his partner to Montreal. I quickly went to work and found a weekend itinerary on board AirCanada which would take the couple directly from LAX to YUL without doing a red-eye (read requirements in bold).
Instead of paying $1408 for the roundtrip, John transferred 103,000 Amex Points to AirCanada to cover for the Economy airfare.
This redemption wasn't the best bang-for-their-points but the couple had plenty of AMEX points and wanted to pay with points than cash.
