If your May HKG flight gives you Prestige status, would it be worth booking the July flight as YYZ-YOW-FRA-YOW-YYZ, as you'll then get the 500 mile minimum on the two YYZ-YOW legs? Assuming you have other flights planned toward trying to hit 50K by year-end, so that this might make a difference?

So for YYZ-YOW-FRA-YOW-YYZ = ~4218
How do I get AC.com to show YYZ-YOW-FRA?
With the list I still plan another trip to Germany in Dec. Doing some rough calculation currently I'd get approx 49,530. I may need to change some routes, esp with the 500 mile minimum with in YYZ-YUL/YOW.
Also I noticed most flight from FRA is direct to YYZ.

Best options from YYZ to MNL
So initially I was going to HKG only but it looks like I might go to MNL.
From my other thread some may not checked it, someone suggested to take PE from YYZ-YVR-HKG. This is awesome to maximize AQM
I noticed the problem is that there isn't much options with *A from HKG-MNL. I would prefer to go through HKG but might consider Japan or Korea. But going to HKG with PE would maximize my AQM.
Also another person suggested SIN but wow that was some crazy connections! That surely maximized the AQM
.
I was initially planning to book a flight with AC from YYZ-YVR-HKG and the buy a separate ticket from HKG-MNL. I am not sure how much hassle or good idea, esp if I need to take my check-in luggage.

I believe ANA has 2 non stops to MNL. One from HND, one fro NRT. If the HND is still on the 787 when you wish to fly, you could still do PE. I'm sure there is a baggage agreement between ANA & AC even if they are on 2 tickets.

ANA is in *A, so you should be able to get it onto one ticket, and depending on fare class, even more AQM.

Would suggest taking AC yyz to ist around 1600$ flex. Then, ist to mnl with sq around 1400$.
So thats like 3k$ for around 24k miles.
In any event, if you fly yyz-hkg with ac and then hkg to mnl with pr. They have and interline agreement or whatever you call it, and your luggage tags go all the way to mnl. However u need to get your boarding pass for pr to mnlmin the transfer desk in hkg
