I'm expecting my 2nd round of 25k Alaskan points in that account sometime soon and I think I read 50k will work for a one way to BKK? Even if it's ex YYZ I could make that work and maybe use the aeroplan-esso-avion-AA/Avios process to get enough points there for the other one way? Does that sound like a feasible plan or not?
I got 2 x 25K from 2 Alaska CC over 2~3 years
I used the 50K to call & book one-way ORD-HKG-TPE for 2015 no problem (50K + ~$60 fee).
Options were ORD-HKG-TPE 50K Alaska + $50 or 79000 Avios + $174 USD (worse option)
YYZ-HKG-TPE would've worked if there's YYZ-HKG availability @@
but I'm sure YYZ-HKG-BKK would work for you
