Mileage allowance for round trip to asia/Eu.

exbrit · Nov 1, 09, 6:42 pm

Without me having to call Aeroplan, can anyone tell me how to calculate if a trip is within allowed mileage?

I am presently booked (with 120,000 first class points) on the following route:

YYJ-YVR-HKG-BKK (STOP)-FRA-MAN (STOP)-LHR-YVR-YYJ

My problem is the LHR-YVR sector is only available in economy.HOWEVER I can find first class space if I was allowed to fly LHR-LAX-(YVR-YYJ) ;or even business class for LHR-SFO-YYJ.

Would either of these alternative routes be allowed do you think?

Appreciate any help.

Mileage is fine YYJ-YVR-HKG-BKK (STOP)-FRA-MAN (STOP)-LHR-YVR-YYJ.

Are detailed rules for these posted somewhere? Looks like my wife could use one of these.

Nope, not published anywhere.

Sorry, CPYVR, but that does not answer the question. I am already approved and booked for the route ending in MAN-LHR-YVR-YYJ, my question was "would I still be in mileage allowed if I changed to return from LHR via LAX or SFO to YYJ" The point being, I can get First or Business class on these routes, but only Economy on the present route from LHR-YVR.

Anybody help?

MPM for YYJ-BKK is 13365.

Adding an LAX or SFO stop should be fine - you're still within the base MPM, and I think, from memory, you're allowed to go 5% over MPM for Aeroplan rewards?

When do you plan to take your trip?

2 stops only for the 120,000 mileage required?

I am outbound mid Jan.; inbound mid Feb.

I noticed there is a daily Air New Zealand service from LHR to LAX but no first class space available. Anybody seen F space show up last minute on this airline?

Not unless you convince them to buy a new plane just for you. IIRC NZ doesn't have any F service.

Canibus is correct .... NZ doesn't have F - only J. Just like AC. You will not find F on any AC flight.

Both routings will work with a mileage break in BKK over either ocean.
YYJ-YVR-HKG-BKK (STOP)-FRA-MAN (STOP)-LHR-LAX-YVR-YYJ
or
YYJ-YVR-HKG-BKK (STOP)-FRA-MAN (STOP)-LHR-SFO-YYJ

Is it still 120K miles if its Business all over way?

I believe it's 100K if in J all the way for the itinerary above (*A carriers, no AC), unless AC metal is involved for the asia leg (115k?).

I am paying 120,000 pts. Exec. on AC to HKG; F on THai to BKK; F on Thai to FRA. Worth the extra pts. for the BKK arrival and lounge experience on departure!
