TPE - YVR (AC)
Originally had booked return ticket from ICN - LAX, however apparently agents noted Canada and USA are different countries for award booking. So had to get creative and was lucky to stumble across TPE - YVR on AC. Both AC segments rather rare and difficult to come by, at least during my search.
Also, first agent on the phone told me that since I was flying to SYD I could not then depart on my next segment from ICN/TPE. However I tried to find documentation of this and could not. Next agent was very helpful and told me no rules prohibited such a routing.
Total was 115,000 miles and $240 in taxes. An absolute steal!
Wow, awesome! I'm dreaming of putting together an itinerary like that, but I fear it will be impossible to find 4 seats together in business on enough of the legs to make it work. If only my wife would me and her fly up front with the kids in coach...
