Adams Peak Quotes

And then, just when you think that you have experienced all the wonders that this world has to offer, you round a peak and suddenly think you're doing the whole thing over again, but this time on drugs.

Redefine success. The most meaningful form of performance is progress. The ultimate mark of potential is not the height of the peak you’ve reached, but the distance you’ve traveled—and helped others travel.

Making progress isn't always about moving forward. Sometimes it's about bouncing back. Progress is not only reflected in the peaks you reach-it's also visible in the valleys you cross. Resilience is a form of growth.

On a globe it looks like a swollen California. Within that space, though, are twenty-thousand-foot peaks, the world’s deepest canyon (twice as deep as the Grand Canyon), unmapped Amazon jungle and the driest desert on earth.

If you don’t drink coffee, you should think about two to four cups a day. It can make you more alert, happier, and more productive. It might even make you live longer. Coffee can also make you more likely to exercise, and it contains beneficial antioxidants and other substances associated with decreased risk of stroke (especially in women), Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. Coffee is also associated with decreased risk of abnormal heart rhythms, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.12, 13 Any one of those benefits of coffee would be persuasive, but cumulatively they’re a no-brainer. An hour ago I considered doing some writing for this book, but I didn’t have the necessary energy or focus to sit down and start working. I did, however, have enough energy to fix myself a cup of coffee. A few sips into it, I was happier to be working than I would have been doing whatever lazy thing was my alternative. Coffee literally makes me enjoy work. No willpower needed. Coffee also allows you to manage your energy levels so you have the most when you need it. My experience is that coffee drinkers have higher highs and lower lows, energywise, than non–coffee drinkers, but that trade-off works. I can guarantee that my best thinking goes into my job, while saving my dull-brain hours for household chores and other simple tasks. The biggest downside of coffee is that once you get addicted to caffeine, you can get a “coffee headache” if you go too long without a cup. Luckily, coffee is one of the most abundant beverages on earth, so you rarely have to worry about being without it. Coffee costs money, takes time, gives you coffee breath, and makes you pee too often. It can also make you jittery and nervous if you have too much. But if success is your dream and operating at peak mental performance is something you want, coffee is a good bet. I highly recommend it. In fact, I recommend it so strongly that I literally feel sorry for anyone who hasn’t developed the habit.

You can’t have that kind of knowledge in your head and not do something about it.

A neutron pulse surged through the dying reactor, and thermal power peaked at more than 12 billion watts.

thermal power peaked at more than 12 billion watts.

Depending on height and sex, getting your blood alcohol above 0.10 pretty much guarantees a hangover the next day, with symptoms peaking at about twelve to fourteen hours later.

They knew where they were headed but they didn’t know where they were going. Retina shrugged the thought. Roma complained about the possibility they were walking into a trap. After all, he was one of the scientists that decided Solstice’s fate. Retina was adamant no one knew him. Lorenzo didn’t care about anything much but reaching Zharfar after Retina surgically removed his Unicell Groper. They were headed to Africa in what seemed a semi commercial private plane. Eight people including the pilots travelled. They weren’t supposed to know any more particulars. But Lorenzo’s watch placed the coordinates in both numbers and words. They were in West Africa, country Nigeria, state Osun, and township Isura. None of them had ever heard of it, the town, but they were there. And they had travelled for miles, over highly forested nonresidential areas and mountain peaks before they stopped. Wherever they were going was greatly isolated, Roma thought.

Feelings are up and down, they have peaks and troughs. Often, feelings generated by other causes get tangled up with a decision and color one’s vision. Nothing short of commandment living (often in spite of feelings) can keep life stable. The peaks and troughs grow larger as they are allowed to become the life motivating force;7 however, on the other hand, they tend to flatten out as life becomes commandment oriented.

Way off in some indistinguishable distance—was it a mile or a million or a mote in his eye?—was a stunning peak that overarched the sky, climbed and climbed and spread out in flowering aigrettes,1 agglomerates,2 and archimandrites.

Tom felt his darkness. His father was beautiful and clever, his mother was short and mathematically sure. Each of his brothers and sisters had looks or gifts or fortune. Tom loved all of them passionately, but he felt heavy and earth-bound. He climbed ecstatic mountains and floundered in the rocky darkness between the peaks. He had spurts of bravery but they were bracketed in battens of cowardice. Samuel said that Tom was quavering over greatness, trying to decide whether he could take the cold responsibility. Samuel knew his son’s quality and felt the potential of violence, and it frightened him, for Samuel had no violence—even when he hit Adam Trask with his fist he had no violence. And the books that came into the house, some of them secretly—well, Samuel rode lightly on top of a book and he balanced happily among ideas the way a man rides white rapids in a canoe. But Tom got into a book, crawled and groveled between the covers, tunneled like a mole among the thoughts, and came up with the book all over his face and hands. John Steinbeck. East of Eden (Kindle Locations 4766-4770). Viking.

Alaska is essentially a small continent: big enough to hold Texas, California, and Montana (the second-, third-, and fourth-largest states) and still have room left over for New England, Hawaii, and a couple of metropolises. It contains seven mountain ranges and ten peaks taller than any in the Lower 48. Its waterfront accounts for half of all the coast in the United States. Louisiana has four times as many miles of paved roads.

C. S. Lewis wrote that “sooner or later [God] withdraws, if not in fact, at least from their conscious experience, all those supports and incentives. He leaves the creature to stand up on its own legs. . . . It is during such trough periods, much more than during the peak periods, that it is growing into the sort of creature He wants it to be.” This is because “He wants servants who can finally become sons [and daughters].”22 That may simply be, unavoidably, a wrenching process of spiritual abandonment such as Eve and Adam felt in their expulsion from God’s presence, or we all must have felt upon leaving of our premortal estate. Perhaps this feeling of desolation was entailed in Joseph’s remark that in our quest for understanding, we “must search into and contemplate the darkest abyss.”23 Perhaps many of us will never find God by calling out His name at the entrance to the cave; we must enter its depths.

Every bit of evidence would suggest that the will to be moving is as old as mankind. Take the people in the Old Testament. They were always on the move. First, it's Adam and Eve moving out of Eden. Then it's Cain condemned to be a restless wanderer, Noah drifting on the waters of the Flood, and Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt toward the Promised Land. Some of these figures were out of the Lord's favor and some of them were in it, but all of them were on the move. And as far as the New Testament goes, Our Lord Jesus Christ was what they call a peripatetic--someone who's always going from place to place--whether on foot, on the back of a donkey, or on the wings of angels. But the proof of the will to move is hardly limited to the pages of the Good Book. Any child of ten can tell you that getting-up-and-going is topic number one in the record of man's endeavors. Take that big red book that Billy is always lugging around. It's got twenty-six stories in it that have come down through the ages and almost every one of them is about some man going somewhere. Napoleon heading off on one of his conquests, or King Arthur in search of the Holy Grail. Some of the men in the book are figures from history and some from fancy, but whether real or imagined, almost every one of them is on his way to someplace different from where he started. So, if the will to move is as old as mankind and every child can tell you so, what happens to a man like my father? What switch is flicked in the hallway of his mind that takes the God-given will for motion and transforms it into the will for staying put? It isn't due to a loss of vigor. For the transformation doesn't come when men like my father are growing old and infirm. It comes when they are hale, hearty, and at the peak of their vitality. If you asked them what brought about the change, they will cloak it in the language of virtue. They will tell you that the American Dream is to settle down, raise a family, and make an honest living. They'll speak with pride of their ties to the community through the church and the Rotary and the chamber of commerce, and all other manner of stay-puttery. But maybe, I was thinking as I was driving over the Hudson River, just maybe the will to stay put stems not from a man's virtues but from his vices. After all, aren't gluttony, sloth, and greed all about staying put? Don't they amount to sitting deep in a chair where you can eat more, idle more, and want more? In a way, pride and envy are about staying put too. For just as pride is founded on what you've built up around you, envy is founded on what your neighbor has built across the street. A man's home may be his castle, but the moat, it seems to me, is just as good at keeping people in as it is at keeping people out.

There’s even evidence that placing a great deal of importance on happiness is a risk factor for depression. Why? One possibility is that when we’re searching for happiness, we get too busy evaluating life to actually experience it. Instead of savoring our moments of joy, we ruminate about why our lives aren’t more joyful. A second likely culprit is that we spend too much time striving for peak happiness, overlooking the fact that happiness depends more on the frequency of positive emotions than their intensity. A third potential factor is that when we hunt for happiness, we overemphasize pleasure at the expense of purpose.

We are ascending to the top. We are not in freefall in the bottomless abyss of consumerism and celebrity culture. We are the people of the summits, of the highest heights. We are those who seek to see further than ever before. We look to the stars and beyond. And we look inside. Because there we will find God.

A rut is not a sign that you’ve tanked. A plateau is not a cue that you’ve peaked. They’re signals that it may be time to turn around and find a new route. When you’re stuck, it’s usually because you’re heading in the wrong direction, you’re taking the wrong path, or you’re running out of fuel. Gaining momentum often involves backing up and navigating your way down a different road—even if it’s not the one you initially intended to travel. It might be unfamiliar, winding, and bumpy. Progress rarely happens in a straight line; it typically unfolds in loops.

With incredulous disbelief, she felt herself nearing that elusive sexual peak that had long ago abandoned her.

The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you’ve reached, but how far you’ve climbed to get there.

It turns out that when people assess your skills, they put more weight on your peaks18 than on your troughs. Even if you happened to see Serena Williams repeatedly double-fault on her serve, you’d recognize her excellence if you witnessed just one of her aces. When Steve Jobs flopped with the Apple Lisa, people still deemed him a visionary for his feats with the Mac. And we judge Shakespeare’s genius by his masterpieces (think Hamlet and King Lear), forgiving his forgettable plays (I’m looking at you, Timon of Athens and The Merry Wives of Windsor). People judge your potential from your best moments, not your worst. What if you gave yourself the same grace?

Making progress isn’t always about moving forward. Sometimes it’s about bouncing back. Progress is not only reflected in the peaks you reach—it’s also visible in the valleys you cross. Resilience is a form of growth.

Continental Drift you have moved through like an ice flow- steady slow substantial tumble of glacial tongue sweeping through valleys reshaped you arrived on your own epic time patient and thorough meltwater firn crevasse and all lifting rocks on shifting plates smoothing edges and moving the very axes of my teeth you soothed over rifts and fault lines leaving me newly minted peaked and ridged steep and crested sloped and spurred Hillsides lush and summits glistening I rush to a new dawn but not without raw traces of your tender era scratched warmly on my every acre

I was just about to tell you when she came bounding in the front door. Rosie doesn’t walk anywhere.” “You were just about to tell me? A few years after the fact?” “I told you I needed a commitment, that I wanted a child…children. You were adamant—you were not interested in the same things I was.” “You might’ve left out a couple of things—like you were pregnant. That red hair and those green eyes—they’ve been in my family for generations.” “Did you really think I would tell you? After the way you acted about the whole idea?” “I didn’t have the facts,” he said, anger seeping into his tone. “Do you even remember how it was? Do you remember that I cried and said it was the most important thing to me and you said I’d have to come up with other important things because you weren’t getting into all that? Do you remember telling me not to let the door hit me in the ass? Do you remember saying, ‘Fat chance! Not in this lifetime’?” “And do you remember telling me I was a child, an irresponsible fuck-around who would never grow up? That if I couldn’t settle down and have a wife and children, you weren’t interested in wasting any more time on me? Remember, Franci? But you didn’t tell me you were pregnant!” “I couldn’t! I was afraid to!” “Aw, Jesus, Mary and Joseph—afraid? You’ve never had any reason to be afraid of me!” “I was afraid you’d marry me!” “That was what you wanted!” “I didn’t want you to marry me because I was pregnant! I wanted you to marry me because you loved me!” “I did love you! I just didn’t want to be married!” “Or have children!” she shouted back. She pinched her eyes closed and took a steadying breath. She spoke quietly. “I didn’t want you to be stuck with us. More to the point, I didn’t want us to be stuck with you, regretting our accident every day of our marriage. I wanted my child. I wanted to raise her knowing she was wanted. Loved. You will never understand this, Sean, and I don’t expect you to—but when my period was five minutes late, I started to love her. Passionately. And it grew by the day. If I couldn’t be a hundred percent sure that you’d love her just as much, I wasn’t willing to take a chance on you.” “Were you never going to tell me?” he asked. “If I hadn’t bumped into you, were you—” “Yes, I was going to tell you. I was going to have to—Rosie has just started asking questions. I was dreading it, but I was going to tell you.” “Dreading it? Because you knew how pissed I’d be?” She gave a huff of laughter. Sometimes he was so dense. “No, Sean,” she said patiently. “I don’t care if you get mad at me. I was afraid you’d hurt Rosie. Reject her. Ignore her. Break her heart.” Sean

And at that moment—at the peak of my high, at the peak of her greedy triumph—our eyes locked and we surged past every barrier—stranger and stranger, priest and penitent, Tyler and Poppy. We were simply male and female, as God had made us, Adam and Eve, in the most elemental and fundamental form. We were biology, we were creation incarnate, and I saw the moment she felt it too—that we were fused somehow. Irrevocably and undeniably fused together into something singular and whole.

The freelance EIC had at its peak just 1,500 administrative officers and about 19,000 police and soldiers for an area one third the size of the continental United States. As such, it exerted virtually no control over most areas, which were in the hands either of Arab slave-traders and African warlords, or of native soldiers nominally in the employ of Belgian concession companies without a white man for a hundred miles. Hochschild’s description of the EIC as “totalitarian” is bizarre, as is his claim that Léopold exerted a “framework of control…across his enormous realm.” If only this were true.

Every cycle has four phases: expansion, peak, contraction, and trough.

The only workplace that prevented a health and safety visit from occurring during my career was professional astronomy. They were adamant that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) were not going to be allowed to visit the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, USA. They were successful in canceling the scheduled OSHA visit and the result was I became much sicker as time progressed while working there. Part of that sickness was suspected mercury poisoning.

Filmművészet persze továbbra is van. De nincsen filmkultúra, s véget ért az, ami „modern filmként” vagy „művészfilmként” egy ideig történelemformáló erővel bírt. A filmművészetet immár nem egy átfogó kultúra tartja fenn és hordozza, hanem elszigetelt nevek, magányos filmrendezők, akik, a filmtörténet korai évtizedeihez hasonlóan nem alkotnak közösséget, hanem a filmipar egyetemes világában magányos bolygók benyomását keltik. Haneke, Almodóvar, Roy Anderson, Jeles András, Terence Davies, Lars von Trier, Zvjagincev, Tarr Béla, Wenders… ezt a névsort is lehetne hosszasan folytatni. Megannyi Don Quijote benyomását keltik: filmjeiket nézve jól érzékelhető, hogy valami ellenében készültek. Mire képes a test? Mi a halál? Mi a spiritualitás? Van-e még szentség? Létezik-e hagyomány? Milyen poklok vannak a lélekben? E rendezők számára is magától értetődőek ezek a kérdések. De az is látszik, hogy csakis az ő számukra azok, s nem tudnak maguk mögött egy széles közösséget, amely a nyelvüket beszélné. E kérdéseknek ugyanis már nincsen kultúrája, és különösen nincsen kultúrateremtő ereje. E rendezők magányosak, abban az értelemben, hogy kizárólag saját magukra tudnak hagyatkozni, ha ébren akarják tartani a metafizika utáni vágyat. Már nem számíthatnak az őket környező kultúrára. A lengyel költő, Adam Zagajewski szavaival: „A metafizikai érzések – valóban eltűntek volna? Nem, természetesen nem. Csakis tőlünk függ, mi történik velük. Valamennyien minden pillanatban döntünk róluk, nem rajtunk kívül léteznek, nem olyanok, mint egy olvadó jéghegy Grönlandon, melynek sorsát őszintén sajnáljuk. Nem képeznek tőlünk független kontinenst, amit az óceán elönt. Mi magunk vagyunk a metafizikai érzések. Már régóta veszélyeztetve vannak, évszázadok óta, de újra meg újra mindig megmenti őket valaki, és továbbra is meg fogja menteni.” Az említett rendezők – az egyre fogyatkozó nézők előtt – mintegy tovább adják egymásnak a stafétabotot, anélkül, hogy számíthatnának egy végső ünnepélyes díjátadásra. A kultúra – pontosabban civilizáció – ugyanis immár nem őket díjazza. A filmipar is kitermelte persze azokat a rendezőket, akik mintegy átlépték a saját árnyékukat: Tarantino vagy David Lynch például vitathatatlanul a nagyok közé tartoznak. De nagyok abban is, hogy miközben a hagyományos filmművészet szellemében észrevehetően metafizikai kérdéseket feszegetnek, ezeket hihetetlen bravúrral rántják vissza a nem-metafizika szférájába és alakítják át egydimenzióssá. S ezzel a filmipar igényeihez igazítják azokat. A Ponyvaregény, a Kutyaszorító, a Kék bársony vagy a Twin Peaks egy pillanatig sem hagy kétséget afelől, hogy alkotóiknak határozott elképzelése van a létezésről, s hogy nem idegenek tőlük a metafizikai problémák. De éppilyen nyilvánvaló az is, hogy ezeket már csak idézőjelben tudják elgondolni. Annak a hatalmas szürke sávnak a képviselői ők, amely a filmművészet és a filmipar között alakult ki: mindkét irányba megfelelni próbálnak, miközben egyikkel sem akarnak igazán azonosulni. Az úgynevezett midcult kultúrája, ami Virginia Woolf szerint a magaskultúra kiárusítása, a filmben is uralkodóvá vált. Ezek a rendezők a világot a puszta felszínre redukálják: csak az van, ami látható, megfogható, ami éppen a néző szeme előtt történik, s még az úgynevezett misztika is ebbe simul bele. És innen nincsen kiút, sugallják, még a felszín alatt is csak újabb felszín húzódik, minden ugyanoda és ugyanabba vezet vissza, ahogyan a Ponyvaregény is ott fejeződik be, ahol elkezdődött. Ez a kizárólagos felszín az, ami napjainkban az egész világ számára követendő minta, és a filmművészetet is e parancs a nevében igyekeznek a filmiparnak kiszolgáltatni.

In the most capital-intensive industry, automobiles, peak economy of scale was achieved at a level of production equivalent to 3-6% of market share.84 And even this level of output is required only because annual model changes (which arguably wouldn't pay for themselves without state capitalist subsidies) require an auto plant to wear out the dies for a run of production in a single year. Otherwise, peak economy of scale would be reached in a plant with an output of only 60,000 per year.85   In any case, these figures relate only to productive economy of scale. Increased distribution costs begin to offset increased economies of production, according to Borsodi's law, long before peak productive economy of scale is reached. According to an F.M. Scherer study cited by Adams and Brock, a plant producing at one-third the maximum efficiency level of output would experience only a 5% increase in unit costs.86 This is more than offset by reduced shipping costs for a smaller market.   The point of this digression is that the size of existing firms reflects the role of the state in subsidizing increased size by underwriting the inefficiencies of corporate gigantism--as Rothbard pointed out, the ways "our corporate state uses the coercive taxing power either to accumulate corporate capital or to lower corporate costs."87 A genuine free market economy would be vastly less centralized, with production primarily for local markets.

In 2005 joblessness would peak at 10.6 percent. To combat this scourge, between 2003 and 2005 the Schroeder government announced a national restructuring program titled Agenda 2010. Its main thrust was a multiphase program of labor market liberalization and benefit cuts, designed by a committee headed by VW’s head of human resources, Peter Hartz. The fourth and final phase of cuts, Hartz IV, became synonymous with a new German “reform” narrative. The unemployed were returned to work. Wage restraint restored German competitiveness. The reward came already in 2003 when Germany could boast of being the world export champion (Exportweltmeister). Agenda 2010 would come to define a new bipartisan self-understanding of Germany’s political class. Having accomplished the enormous task of reunification, Germany had overcome its internal difficulties and “reformed” its way back to economic health. It is a narrative that is superficially compelling and it would have significant implications for how Berlin approached the crisis of the eurozone, but it does not withstand close scrutiny. Hartz IV certainly drove millions of people more or less willingly off long-term unemployment benefits into a range of insecure jobs. This helped to hold down wages for unskilled workers, such as cashiers and cleaning workers. In the first ten years of the euro, despite soaring productivity, half of German households experienced no wage growth at all. This shortened unemployment rolls. It also increased pretax inequality and lowered Germany’s wages relative to its European neighbors. But as to the competitiveness of German exporters, the significance of Hartz IV is far less obvious. German companies do not win export orders by shaving the wages of unskilled workers. A far more important source of competitive advantage came from outsourcing production to Eastern Europe and Southern Europe. Added to which there was the boost from the global recovery of the early 2000s. While its economic impact has been exaggerated, what Hartz IV did transform was German politics. The blue-collar electorate and the left wing of the SPD never forgave Schroeder for Hartz IV.

the classic predator-prey model. It begins with two equations. One tracks the prey population, which could be something like the number of bunnies in a forest. The second follows the predator population, which we could imagine as the number of wolves in the same forest. The important point for modelers to capture is that the two populations are tied together. The wolves eat the bunnies, and that changes the bunny population. But eating bunnies lets the wolves reproduce, adding to their population. So, the bunny population affects the wolf population, too. In these linked equations, there’s a part that describes how the bunnies get eaten by wolves, and another that describes how the wolves have more babies by eating bunnies. Eventually, the bunny population peaks as the rapidly growing number of wolves starts having its impact. After that, the bunny numbers drop and they start to grow scarce. The wolf population, however, takes some time to feel the change. Only later do their numbers peak and then start dropping. Eventually, the wolf population gets low enough for the bunnies to recover, and the cycle begins anew.

opportunities. We deprive the world of greater things. Stretching beyond our strengths is how we reach our potential and perform at our peak. But progress is not merely a means to the end of excellence. Getting better is a worthy accomplishment in and of itself. I

Deliberate play has become especially popular in sports. Extensive evidence shows that athletes who specialize early in a single sport tend to peak quickly and then flame out. Pounding the pavement from a young age puts them at greater risk for both physical and mental health challenges. With deliberate play, it’s easier to sustain enjoyment and achieve greater things.

When you get stuck on your way up a mountain, it’s better to shift into reverse than to stand still. As you take U-turns and detours, you’ll feel as if you’re going in circles. In the short run, a straight line brings faster progress. But in the long run, loops lead to the highest peaks.

And at that moment—at the peak of my high, at the peak of her greedy triumph-our eyes locked and we surged past every barrier-stranger and stranger, priest and penitent, Tyler and Poppy.

We were biology, we were creation incarnate, and I saw the moment she felt it too-that we were fused somehow. Irrevocably and undeniably fused together into something singular and whole.

Can I book United flights using Air Canada miles, or vice versa? Many travelers wonder if they can use Air Canada Aeroplan miles to book United Airlines flights — or the other way around. The short answer? Yes, you can. Both airlines are part of the Star Alliance network, which allows you to redeem miles on partner airlines for eligible routes. That means you can earn with one airline and fly with another, giving you far more flexibility and flight options. If you ever need guidance while redeeming or comparing partner fares, you can reach out at ☎️(877-764-3622) for direct support from an agent familiar with Star Alliance redemptions. How It Works: Air Canada & United Partnership Air Canada’s Aeroplan and United’s MileagePlus programs are fully compatible through Star Alliance. This allows mutual redemptions across both carriers. For example: You can book a United Airlines flight using your Aeroplan miles through AirCanada.com. You can also book an Air Canada flight using MileagePlus miles through United.com. The key is that each airline controls its own award availability and pricing. So while you can use either program to book, the number of miles required may differ. Step-by-Step: Booking United Flights with Aeroplan Miles Go to AirCanada.com and log into your Aeroplan account. Select “Book with Points” under the booking tab. Search for your United Airlines route (e.g., Chicago to Los Angeles). Available flights will display with the “Operated by United” note. Choose your flight, apply your Aeroplan miles, and pay applicable taxes. Tip: United award seats are subject to availability — booking early often means lower point requirements. Step-by-Step: Booking Air Canada Flights with United Miles Log into your MileagePlus account at United.com. Choose “Book with Miles.” Search for your desired Air Canada route (e.g., Toronto to Vancouver). Select a flight marked “Operated by Air Canada.” Complete the redemption process and pay minor taxes or fees. Note: MileagePlus may show slightly different point totals than Aeroplan because each program values partner flights independently. Redemption Value & Tips Typical Economy Redemptions: 6,000–12,000 miles for short-haul North American flights. Business Class Redemptions: 25,000–40,000 miles on average for cross-border or mid-range routes. Always compare both websites — sometimes Aeroplan offers better rates, and sometimes MileagePlus does. Avoid peak-season dynamic pricing; midweek or off-peak travel saves miles. Real-World Example A traveler from Toronto to San Francisco used Aeroplan miles to book a United-operated flight and saved nearly 15% compared to United’s own MileagePlus redemption rate. The reason? Air Canada’s dynamic pricing offered a lower conversion at that time. FAQs Can I earn miles on partner flights? Yes, as long as your frequent flyer number is added before check-in. Do partner redemptions earn additional miles? No — award tickets do not earn new miles. Can I upgrade a partner flight using miles? Generally no; upgrades must be processed through the operating airline. Are there extra fees? Minimal taxes and carrier fees may apply, but there are no heavy surcharges within North America. Conclusion You can absolutely book United flights with Air Canada miles and Air Canada flights with United miles thanks to their Star Alliance partnership. The trick is knowing where to find the best redemption value and booking early for availability. If you ever face confusion while redeeming or comparing partner routes, call ☎️(877-764-3622) for expert help.

When Is the Best Time to Book Air Canada Flights? Booking a flight at the right time can make a big difference in what you pay — and Air Canada’s fares are no exception. With dynamic pricing, seasonal demand, and seat inventory that changes daily, knowing when to book Air Canada flights can help you save hundreds of dollars. If you ever need quick help checking fare changes or confirming flight availability, you can always reach Air Canada’s booking team at ☎️(877-764-3622) for real-time guidance. Here’s what travel data and real-world experience say about the best time to book your next Air Canada trip. 1. The “Sweet Spot” for Air Canada Bookings According to Air Canada’s historical fare data and studies from Expedia and Google Flights: The best time to book domestic flights is 2 to 3 months before departure. For international routes, aim for 4 to 7 months in advance. Avoid booking too early (10–11 months out) unless it’s for peak holiday periods or limited seasonal destinations. Example: A Toronto–Vancouver round trip averages 15–20% cheaper when booked about 70 days before travel compared to booking last-minute. 2. Best Days of the Week to Book Analysts tracking fare patterns found that Tuesdays and Wednesdays consistently offer the lowest average prices on Air Canada. Why? These midweek days often follow fare adjustments and unsold inventory drops from weekend searches. Tip: Set up fare alerts through Google Flights or the Air Canada app to catch overnight price reductions. 3. When to Avoid Booking Some periods almost always bring higher fares: Friday and Sunday evenings: peak for business and leisure travelers. Last 14 days before departure: Air Canada’s dynamic pricing increases for late buyers. Summer holidays and December: book at least 6 months early to lock in better fares. If you must fly during these peak seasons, booking early — or calling ☎️(877-764-3622) to check for flexible fare bundles — can help you avoid steep last-minute markups. 4. Best Months to Book for 2025 Travel Data from Hopper and Air Canada’s pricing trends suggest: January–March: Cheapest months for domestic and short-haul international fares. April–May: Great for Europe-bound flights before summer surges. September–October: Ideal for Asia and long-haul leisure travel. Booking during these “shoulder months” gives you lower fares, more seat availability, and fewer crowds. 5. Use Aeroplan Points Strategically If you’re an Aeroplan member, timing redemptions can save even more. Aeroplan releases reward seats up to 355 days in advance. Off-peak bookings often require fewer points for the same route. Dynamic pricing still applies — but partner airlines (like United or Lufthansa) sometimes offer better point value for the same destination. FAQs Q1. What’s the cheapest day to fly Air Canada? Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays usually offer the lowest fares. Q2. Can I book a year in advance? Yes — Air Canada opens flights 355 days ahead, but prices are rarely lowest that early. Q3. Are last-minute deals common? Only on underbooked routes. Major hubs like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal fill fast. Q4. Do Aeroplan fares drop too? Yes — reward rates can fluctuate, especially outside North America. Conclusion The best time to book Air Canada flights is generally 2–7 months before your trip, depending on route and season. Midweek booking, flexible travel dates, and monitoring price alerts are key strategies for consistent savings. If you’re planning a complex trip or want help comparing seasonal fares, reach out at ☎️(877-764-3622) for up-to-date flight insights. Smart timing doesn’t just save money — it ensures smoother travel planning from start to finish.
