The short flights from YYZ/YUL/YOW/YHZ to CHI/NYC on AA -- or, if out west, YVR-SEA/PDX on Alaska -- present an excellent value at only 4,500 Avios each way, particularly for last-minute redemptions. See #1 below:

Note that for Alaska redemptions, you'll need to make sure that all segments are available as "Super Saver." Availability is pretty limited, in my experience.
