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!
Nice routes and great that you are on AC, SQ and even TG to save on surcharges. Did you have some options with ANA related airlines from SYD to TPE and if so did you price additional distance compared to booking separate ticket?
