So is the $90 change fee constant regardless of how much taxes or flight segments your return flight is?

Also, for 75K points, can you stop over in Asia twice? I was thinking YYC-ICN, then ICN-LHR, then after 2 years, LHR-BKK and finally BKK-YYC. Is this possible for 75K points? Also, if I push back the dates for LHR-BKK and BKK-YYC to what I want, it only costs $90 for both?

Thanks guys. This will be my first time redeeming points lol.

I'm not an expert on this stuff, but what I think is:

a) You can stop over once in each direction on an award ticket; and
b) There is a maximum permitted mileage, which is related to the nonstop distance between the two cities. So you will probably not be able to go the "long way around." To give an extreme case, you could not fly YYC-IST-YVR.

I doubt you can even book the trip as you describe, since you can't even book tickets more than about 11 months in advance. I think you are stuck booking 2 one-ways.
