Hi, thanks for the useful reply. I thought I'd replied back but it doesn't seem to have saved . Perhaps it is worth me asking an admin to move this to the Diamond Club forum.

Through better reading of this forum, I have found the ANA tool. However, it suggests that TAM isn't on there (and the searches I have done would suggest that to be the case as well)

The indian call centre told me that a return to Brazil would be about £350 including taxes . I could certainly fly from neighbouring hubs (Paris/Amsterdam/Brussels) but any saving I'd make would be offset by what I'd spend to get there.

I haven't spotted the right place to search on continental's site but the Aeroplan site is a great resource, thanks!

I didn't realise that leaving Brazil meant no fuel surcharges. In terms of looking for flights, is the protocol the same (i.e. on aeroplan they all look separate anyway). When I eventually ring up to book, so I tell the agent I want 2 one ways or do I make two phone calls?

Thanks for the great help!
