It would help if every member could take a moment to ensure they are posting in the correct thread. This one is meant to be only for listing valid booked mini-RTW itineraries and not questions about booking mini-RTW which belong in this thread:

1) did you have some "pending" changes that they "forgot" to recalculate?
2) are you adding a segment with YQ on it? (doesn't look so)
3) does MLE have some insane taxes or something? (use matrix.itasoftware.com to price JUST that segment)
4) did you fly any part of the itinerary already?
Aeroplan is usually fairly competent on tax calculation, so HUCA does not work too often, unless they are really screwing the pooch here.

If your ticket is J and you paid with points accordingly, there are no charges for changing to J. But then I don't know that much, see what difference the AP site tell you from Y to J

Because of the sched change, I think they're collecting for segments that they shouldn't be because those are the reroute segments. They should only collect for SIN-MLE.

Nice! ^
What did it do to the taxes and fees? I assume the ones listed above were per person?

On Sunday, to distract ourselves from the snowstorm we had in YYC, we booked next year's vacation to southern Thailand. It's not a RTW, its a there and back again the long way, which is longer than our last miniRTW.
YYC - SFO UA J CR7
SFO - FRA UA F 744 (hopefully switch to LH F, will be in heaven if we get the LH F beds again)
FRA - BKK TG F A380 (3rd A380 F flights, SQ and TG)
BKK - HDY TG J A320 (main turnaround)
HDY - BKK TG J A320 (stopover)
BKK - ZRH TG F A346 (midnight departure so a long lounge/spa visit prior)
ZRH - FRA LH J A319
FRA - ORD UA F 744 (hopefully switch to LH F)
ORD - YYC UA J A319
210K AE miles and $802.91 in taxes, each. Plus hopefully another $90 + taxe$ to change to LH F if they open anything up. After this years Y trip for $1800 each, we are totally OK with this.

Well, well. Apparently, agent lottery still works. Helped a friend book:
- YUL-IST-CAI-BKK
- BKK-NRT
- NRT-IST-YUL
The return is over MPM5 by like ... half a universe. But I guess the agent saw a relatively simple routing and allowed it?

There is only a sprinkle of TATL availability in mid-August. Literally almost the last seat. There was some LO seats to ORD/YYZ, as well as quite a lot of AC/LH.
Interestingly, not allowed to transfer ATH twice so DEL-IST-ATH-JTR/o/-ATH-YYZ didnt work. Had to do DEL-IST-SKG-JTR/o/-ATH-YYZ

I didn't book this itinerary but I found it interesting due to the far-east/tpac return:
Outbound over the Atlantic as expected:
YYZ-FRA AC in J
FRA-ADD ET in J
ADD-SEZ ET in J
----------
Return going to the far-east and Pacifc
SEZ-ADD ET in J
ADD-PEK ET in J
PEK-YYZ AC in J
Approximately $1150 in taxes and fees.
