What Is the Best Way to Redeem RBC Avion Rewards Points?
The best value for RBC Avion Rewards points is premium-cabin flights. Booking any airline through the Air Travel Redemption Schedule returns roughly 1–2 cents per point, while transferring Avion points to British Airways Executive Club (Avios), Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, American Airlines AAdvantage or WestJet Rewards and booking Business or First Class regularly returns 2–5 cents per point. Merchandise, gift cards and statement credits return under 1 cent per point and should be avoided. Redeem Flights checks award availability with you before you transfer a single point.
