I could drop the YQB sector and just overland YUL-YQB-YUL, but the extra sector will speed things up. I thought there used to be a few words in the redemption chart notes about overland sectors, but can't see them now

I've had no problems with land sectors; in the trip which started this post, I ended up doing DUS-YYZ-land-YQB-ORD-STL; so there was a land-backtrack. This summer I did LHR-IAD-BOS-land*-SFO-YVR -- no backtrack here, but a long land sector. (* Actually BOS-SFO had to be done on UA-MP standard mileage on a separate ticket owing to no BMI availability.)
