There is only a few routings that work for NRT as a stop (necessary stop) from MEL. From the aeroplan website and ANA and United, I either have to go through SIN and/or ICN, which would still put me over MPM. She said that a direct from NRT to YYZ was necessary, are you suggesting that NRT to LAX to YYZ would equate similar MPM?
What is the purpose of finding the published routing for MEL to YYZ?
Thank you for your advice.
You will find it easier to determine what can and can't work if you peruse this
link. Once you know what has been confirmed to have worked, you just start to look at flight availability using one of the online tools. Read this
post to get started.
So long as you have a valid mini rtw, you don't have to worry about whether something is a valid connection to get to a certain location. You are allowed 3 stops (more than 24 hrs), including your destination and a total of 10 segments. You can't layover for more than 24 hours at any location once you have established your 3 stops but all this is explained brilliantly in the link.
Good luck.
