JNX or PAS to YHZ on AC/Aegean
I'm trying to book a ticket from Paxos (or Naxos) to YHZ for July 15 and I'm running into all sorts of problems. Aegean has daily flights to ATH from either of these islands. Departing from ATH I can connect through YUL or YYZ to reach YHZ on AC.
Paros and Naxos aren't on the Air Canada website as destinations and YHZ isn't listed on Aegean's site. The Olympic Air website doesn't help either. It's like their routes aren't fully integrated in the Star Alliance network yet.
When I try a third party site I get all sorts of crazy routing with a minimum of three stops and prices are through the roof.
On Aegean's site I can book a ticket from Paros to Athens and then I can book a separate ticket on AC for Athens to Halifax via YUL/YYZ at a reasonable fare. But I'd rather travel on one ticket.
Any suggestions?

Exactly. I don't know why people always bring up interline agreements. Those agreements are for same tickets, otherwise it is at will only...

The one-way through fare for PAS-YHZ is only selling in Y at $3000+. There is a slightly cheaper option with a connection in LON that splits the fare there (PAS-LON+LON-YHZ) but it is not much better.
But a one-way fare from ATH-YHZ is cheap (with stops) and so is PAS-ATH that day. The problem is that the cheap ATH-YHZ fare does not permit end-on-end so you cannot combine it on a single ticket to get the overall cheap rate. Either pay the higher price or take the separate tickets.
