Hi guys,

This is my first time using any sort of Aeroplan points to fly anywhere so some help would be greatly appreciated. Basically i have to be in Singapore 1st/2nd week of Jan 2016 and will be back in May (flexible).

I'm trying to keep it a one-way flight to keep my flexibility in terms of booking for the flight back. I took a look at the Aeroplan website and it seems like I'm pretty much stuck paying fees on all the flights they have flying with Air Canada? I'm sure there's a way around this... but how?

Ideally I'd also like a stopover in another city somewhere in Europe (or anywhere else really) so I can do some exploring for a couple days. This would likely occur during the last week of Dec and then I would fly to Singapore after New Years.

I'm not sure if any of this is possible on a one-way flight? If possible I appreciate all of your help!
