[KVS Availability Tool 7.1.2 - Reference: Maximum Permitted Mileage [MPM]: YYZ-UFA]
Code:
                                                                
         GI       M      5M     10M     15M     20M     25M     
MPM      AT    6474    6797    7121    7445    7768    8092     
MPM      PA   11163   11721   12279   12837   13395   13953
The problem is that AE uses a very restrictive MPM5M, while others such as US used 25M, and others none at all. I am not aware for any other ffp using such restrictive MPM for rewards as AE does.
But to be fair, isn't Aeroplan the most lenient with stopovers? US, as far as I know, only allows one stopover in addition to the destination?
