Has anyone been to Montreal before via a non direct route.....any suggestions to help me along the way? I've tried award Nexus but the site appears to be down at the minute.
Was looking to go Biz class. I tried the Dublin-boston loophole which is ideal for me but getting to Montreal is proving difficult and I cant confirm if there are any reward seats on the dub-bos route.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks

i just booked to go to Montreal f1 as well, on reward seats to bos in f and back form jfk in j, It is very hard to find seats in and nearby, it is easer to come back from JFK in biz as there is more reward seats due to more flights, secondly it is VERY expensive to get to and from major gateways.
Just booked (1hr ago) a Montreal to JFk on the 10th, and it wanted 400£ pp for one way (due to timing), my advice is be flexable to transfer/ airline.
Look to go to toronto, any nyc, bos, iad,phl,chicago. You should be able to find one, and book over the phone two and from different destinations to make the reward travel easier.
And look at transfer prices!!!
p.s-its much easier in F to find flights at good timings/destinations if you can stretch that far tho...
Good luck and see you there
