AC does fly to BRU from YUL but it's with an old A330, would recommend UA.
And as pointed above, buy one return with miles and one with cash, buying one way tickets in cash in a lot more expensive.
And do not buy Y/B tickets to upgrade them as Y/B tickets are probably the same price as buying a restricted J ticket.

Hi
Trying to redeem a Europe to MEL flight in J in late September - whilst there seems to be a lot of capacity reedemable on Mileage Plus, A3 advises otherwise and can only really get us to Asia in J, with either connecting on with Y or nothing at all. Call centre advised checking back in a few days.
Anyone been able to get to Australia on A3 redemption, or have any advice?
Thanks

I was looking on the ANA tool and I can't find availability on there at all to MEL - in ANY dates around then. It's a long time away, so maybe more seats will be released later. My preferred routing (if it becomes available) would be Thai, from FCO or ARN as I believe there is no YQ and they fly those routes on their new A350.
The routings you found with only Y on to MEL would be with SQ right? They do seem to be quite mean with releasing their C inventory.

So with a change of dates, ZRH-BKK-MEL on TG now booked, YQ of €49.22 with €20 fee.
Now if only we could get into that Whisky Lounge in ZRH now that we're lowly silvers...!

It's there (80k, 110k, 150k). It's just that you have to read down the side first for 'Far East'. I guess they do this to avoid listing everything twice but it can be a little confusing.

CMN to IST was meant to be operated by an A330-300 (flat-bed) but was swapped a day earlier to an A330-200 with the angled flat beds. I was little bit disappointed at first but it turned out to be perfectly fine for a 4-5 hour day flight.
IST to OTP was a 738 with a euro-style business class cabin, i.e. empty middle seat. But there were only 2 of us in the 3-row cabin (though they put both solo travellers next to each other across the aisle. Don't know why).
