enRoute Why does Aeroplan work for you?

Naledi Jackson I’m based in Los Angeles, but all my family is in Canada. With Aeroplan, it’s very seamless to travel back and forth. I also use my Chase Aeroplan Card frequently, so I earn points on almost all my purchases, even groceries and restaurant bills.

ER What is your go-to Aeroplan tip?

NJ Don’t overlook the eUpgrade credits. I’ve used them frequently to get better seats and upgrade to business class.

ER Does travel inspire your work?

NJ All the time! I’ll go to a place and I’ll be like, “I need to make a movie here” or “I need to write a screenplay about this location.” I’d say, if you’re working on something that’s set somewhere else, you have to be there to experience it for a bit. It brings a certain depth to your writing that you wouldn’t get from research.

ER What is your secret travel talent?

NJ I’m not afraid to try on other languages, including broken Spanish. Whatever it takes to make a connection.

ER Do you have a dream destination?

NJ I may have already found it. During the writers’ strike in Hollywood, I went to Guadeloupe on a whim, and it was absolutely incredible. I flew Air Canada from Los Angeles to Montreal and then to Guadeloupe.
