The two options given to me where book a 4th seat for the infant (@160k points) OR call up Air China and pay for the flight (about $1k for their portion). She said that Air China was the only airline that does this (its so rare that she even went ahead in filling in all the details of the trip and got confused why it didn't compute...)
Anyways I make this post in part as a heads up (I haven't come across this information ever before)
...and for those curious I ended up doing YVR-TPE (AC) / TPE - SIN (BR) / SIN - ADL (SQ)
Thats a much better option............. Even better if you can do YVR-TPE on NH (via Japan) or BR
Air China to me is the cross ocean equivalent of United Airlines LOL
