Thank You Very Much WorldTraveller73
YUL-ZRH is a really good flight (I love the suites on Swiss) but for us to get to YUL (from YVR) for a 17h00 flight (Same Day) is not possible. The YUL-MUC at 20h20 would be possible (again same day) but we would be very limited on our Canada flights. The TimeZones are just not in our favour.
I had a discussion with my Wife and she will try to get October off so we try for the YVR-FRA flight. Or maybe wait till next April when First comes back to Vancouver.
YYZ-SCL-EZE sounds like a good flight (AC Pods) but Business class seems very hard to get. There's the odd day in Sept but nothing in Oct or early to mid-Nov.
I have a couple of questions for you:

Is there a reason I can't book TAM with points? LIM-SCL-GRU ... YYZ sounds like a possibility.

Good luck
I can't find the post but I thought you could get 1 to 1 or slightly better going from Aeroplan to Points.com to Petrocan to RBC Avion to British Airways while the Avion 50% bonus to British Airways was on.
Thanks again !!! Very helpful info !
