Since United is a Star Alliance member you can use your Aeroplan points to redeem for these flights. There is amazing availability in economy class between September and November and there is also some decent business class availability as well. For the SFO-PPT flights Aeroplan charges only 35,000 each way in economy class and 55,000 points each ways in business class. Since it is a partner flight it will be subject to the $39 partner award booking fee. The San Francisco to Tahiti flight This flight operates several times per week with a United Boeing 787-9 which features United’s Polaris Business Class cabin. With San Francisco being a partner award flight that falls into Aeroplan’s 0-5,000 mileage requirement, it is only 55,000 Aeroplan points each way + taxes and fees for business class.
