True. Last week I went over all the airlines to find the best baggage deal... I found brussels has the normal 2 32kg for business class but you can add additional bags for $160 each (compared to $200 and above elsewhere) and because you are in business class they can be up to 32kg! Since I am planning on 3 extra bags, I can justify using the extra miles to save some money on baggage.

No stopovers are even allowed with aeroplan on one-way, but I think they allow unlimited segments if you don't go over the MPM. I guess what I mean to say is that I know there are star alliance flights that can connect me to Juba, but they don't show on the award search. For sure I should be able to connect through FCO or CAI to get to Juba instead of having to overland from Uganda. I never saw anything listed when I searched awards but I know the flights exist. I may not even bother pursuing, because I think I would rather clear customs in Entebbe than Juba anyhow.

Basically I found what I thought is good for me, but I was trying to see if there was any 'tricks' to add another one way or something of that nature. Doesn't seem possible so I just need to decide whether I would rather fly to Juba than Entebbe.

Thanks for the help, if I can remember I'll let you know how it goes!
