it is 25% for the flights within Canada and the one that go from LGA to Canada will earn 50%.

I was actually thinking of doing this 2 run as I need to go to YQT in Nov.

The above routing that I posted can help me complete (more than once for some) the following badges:

2 of 3 -- YWG / YQB / YHZ
3 of 3 -- YOW / YQT / YTZ
3 of 4 -- YEG / YXE / YQR / YWG

and also get me over 25000 wings.

So, if I do take this extra trip of YQT <-> LGA and I can book it before Oct 3, it can get the following for $308
- 11 AQS
- min 1625 AQM (9 x 125 AQM + 2 x 250 AQM), which will take me over the threshold for eUpg credits. And since it is after Nov, the chance are they will exp in 2016
- 10000 wings, hence 10000 Aeroplan miles from EYW3

What I lost will be 2 days of my time with my family.

I haven't committed on EYW3 yet and I will already make E50K with 52 AQS without any MR, hence these extra 11 AQS doesn't help much for my AC status. If this MR take me to SE, I will do it for sure. Not sure if I will consider even for E75K.
