This deal offers nonstop flights with lie-flat business class seats, providing nearly a 10-hour lie-flat experience to the African continent. The flights are a solid choice for those planning a dedicated trip to Togo or using it as a jumping-off point to explore nearby countries.
To book these flights, simply search for award availability on Air Canada’s Aeroplan platform and then book directly there. Award space to West Africa in business class is rare, especially for nonstop flights from the U.S., but this offer provides an opportunity to secure a seat.
Here are detailed steps to take advantage of this offer:
- Search for nonstop flights: Ethiopian Airlines offers nonstop flights from Newark (EWR) to Lomé (LFW), which you can confirm on Ethiopian’s official flight schedule. Flights from Washington, D.C. (IAD) typically require a connection, as there is no nonstop service listed directly from IAD to Lomé.
- Use Air Canada Aeroplan points: Aeroplan allows booking Ethiopian Airlines flights. The cost for this offer is 70,000 points plus approximately $59 taxes and fees per one-way ticket.
- How to get Aeroplan points: You can transfer points to Aeroplan from American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Mesa Points, and Marriott Bonvoy programs to top up your account before booking. Alternatively, consider the Aeroplan credit card to earn more points.
- Booking process: Log in to your Air Canada Aeroplan account, search for award flights from Newark (EWR) to Lomé (LFW), select nonstop Ethiopian Airlines business class options if available, and complete the booking using your points. Be mindful that award availability fluctuates, so it’s best to book as soon as space appears.
- Additional tips: From Washington D.C. (IAD), if nonstop flights are not available, consider connecting through Newark or an Ethiopian Airlines hub (Addis Ababa). Ethiopian business class offers added benefits, such as lounge access and priority boarding, enhancing your travel experience to Lomé.
