That's weird,

I had rbc avion points and redeemed them for avios w/50% bonus. Was able to book direct flights for me and the family @ 20k each (or 30k biz) RT YUL-MIA direct. Only 62$ taxes kills any other airline taxes (AC 135$, UA 110$, DA 120$...)

Heck I'm flying with partner airline AA and the taxes are even cheaper than booking straight with them!

That is the best return on your miles. Even if MIA is not always the best airport. I'm willing to suck it up for the insane savings.
