YVR-MEL-HKG-YVR with AC on the first (via PVG) and last legs gets whacked with like $800 in YQ
I don't know exactly how it works either, but this
post is what I meant, which I saw myself when I tried to price out YYZ-CDG-TPE, TPE-HKG-YYZ involving very minimal AC YQ also
Booked for July 2016:
YYZ-CDG AC J stop
CDG- IST TK J
IST-HKG TK J stop
HKG-YVR AC J stop
YVR-YYZ AC J
Taxes and fees CAD 363.86 + CAD 33.90 call centre + 150,000 Points
The stop in HKG results in TATL in AC J for total YQ of CAD 45.00!
