Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a while but finally ran into problems and decided to register. I've recently started traveling more for work and expect it to continue into the new year. I have an upcoming trip to Sweden (GOT) and will be leaving from YEG. I was hoping to turn this into a bit of a mileage run to so that I can perhaps enjoy some of the perks when I start my more serious traveling next year. If possible I'd like to get 19k to 29k miles.
I've done some searching and have found a good price using the following fare basis code 'WLXRCE' to go YEG->YYC->FRA->GOT but I would like to add a couple of extra zig zags to boost the mileage a bit. The rules for the fare seem pretty flexible. There is a note about certain LH flights being excluded but I don't see any problems. How do I go about booking a trip like this. If I try adding SFO to get YEG-YYC-SFO-FRA-GOT I would add substantially to my mileage but AirCanada's website won't let me book this (at a resonable) price because it treats each leg as a separate fare. How do I go about booking some extra stops into the itinerary? I called Air Canada and they thought I was crazy (so did my travel agent). The fare rules are below....
Thanks,
Brad
