Has anyone really played with this promo and found most segments for least dollars?
Was playing around work with a sale that ends 02 Jan and got 8 segments YEG-YYC-YCG-YVR-YYJ//YYJ-YVR-YLW-YYC-YEG in N class for 287.00 inc tax. Already have 2 qualifying segments on YEG-VIE trip early Mar '02, so would only need another 2 segments to get full 15,000 AP bonus.

Another promotion biased towards western Canadians! Thank goodness I still have two businesses based in Alberta so I can take advantage of them. Who says AC hates western Canadians, and Albertans in particular!
I think tcook books through SABRE, since s/he works for a TA, no? This means eight segments are possible, and if s/he'll do it for me, I would willingly pay the $50 TA charge since I have to do a YEG-YYJ trip in early March. Last promo I was onlly able to book it as 6 segments on AC's site: Destina wanted $80 more for the same itinerary!

On a lark: I tried Destina...
11 Jan: YWG-YXE-YQR-YYC-YVR
12 Jan: YVR-YYC-YEG-YYC-YWG total: 8 segments
$548.30 a tad on the expensive side but I was surprised that it allowed back tracking YYC-YEG-YYC
PS I didn't book it.

Amazing how taxes and fees shoot up a $85 1-way/$170 RT fare!
PLUS service fee if booked with a T.A.
BTW $50 is too much.

Destina - under multi-city, enter:
City pair 1: YWG-YXE; Jan 11
City pair 2: YXE-YQR; Jan 11
City pair 3: YQR-YLW; Jan 11
City pair 4: YLW-YVR; Jan 11
City pair 5: YVR-YQR; Jan 12
City pair 6: YQR-YWG; Jan 12
(You got a high price before because of the flight back to YYC and hard to get > 3 segments in eastbound.)
Then you should pick these flights:
JAN11 AC8184 YWG YXE 0925 1045
JAN11 AC103 YXE YQR 1135 1215
JAN11 AC8453 YQR YYC 1450 1540
JAN11 AC8251 YYC YLW 1745 1750
JAN11 AC8479 YLW YVR 1820 1910
---
JAN12 AC206 YVR YYC 0915 1135
JAN12 AC8406 YYC YQR 1220 1500
JAN12 AC8348 YQR YWG 1525 1650
Total including taxes is $392.08 CAD for 8 segments (L class).
Booking 8 or more segments on destina is not hard as long as you know where to pair city pairs up.
Let me know if you need more help.
