Just booked and used up all my Aeroplan points for a trip next August. Had to buy some to do the 210000 cost for 2 people in business. Strange that the wait on the phone was less than 3 minutes on a regular line. Agent was very helpful and we went through several scenarios to reduce the "taxes and fees". Routing is CDG - CMB (stop) - CMB - SIN - HAN (stop) - HAN - BKK (stop) - BKK - CDG. Airlines are Turkish, Singapore, Thai, Turkish. Scam charges are $313 CAD per person which is acceptable. Lots of availability on Turkish with no scam charges. Lots on Thai with big scam charges. Glad to be out of the race!
