Ah, thanks. I didn't know the mpm will be looked at for each part. I thought it'd be 10544 x 2. I was thinking
YYZ-LHR-BRU (or thru YUL), both high YQ but not much other choice
BRU-IST-SIN-TPE (on TK and SG, with layover hours to see a bit of IST and SIN)
TPE-ICN-NRT (long layover to see a bit of Seoul)
NRT-EWR-YYZ (HND-YYZ has higher YQ)

The miles for those individual segments add up to 21279.
What tools can help me to figure out the YQ, and mpm, other than calling ae?
