You might be better off purchasing a YYZ-PEK/PVG ticket and a seperate to BKK....or just pay the higher price.
You could check other airlines as their routing rules might be different. Air China has a fare routing through JFK and PEK - YYZ-JFK on AA.
Thanks Chris,
That makes sense. I guess the reason I was confused is I see a routing on Expert Flyer when I search Flight availability.

But it is true I have never seen this routing available on the AC Website.
Thanks everyone for your help. I think I have a better understanding now. It has more to do with available cities then Maximum allowable milage, (as the agent indicated).
Chris how do you see that only NRT and HKG are the only cities allowed? Or is it just known because that's all that comes up when searching on the AC Website?
