YVR-SFO (AC) [would've been cheaper with UA but as usual, even almost a year out, no space in J and in Y for days]
SFO-LIS (TP) [looking forward to the 339 and TAP's new business class]
LIS-BRU (SN) STOP [flying Brussels Air has proven to be difficult in the past so I'm just trying to knock it out with a short haul regional flight]

BRU-IST-BEY (TK) <24 [flying TK is always nice, even though the J class seat isn't great, but my main goal here was to have a long layover to check out the new airport and lounge, so I've got like 12.5 hours]
BEY-CAI (MS) STOP [being a dry airline with 2-3-2 business class on the 777s I'm not super interested in that, just crossing MS off the list after what I hope will be a nice 24 hours in Beirut!]

CAI-ADD-CPT (ET) STOP [I flew ET from GRU-EZE which I thought was kinda cool and random, this was the best way to get to CPT and not through JNB, plus another 350 *fingers crossed*]

CPT-JNB (SA) [purposely picked the 343 flight just to get that, I would've liked to fly SA long haul, but I had better opportunities]
JNB-SIN-BKK (SQ) <24 [got J class on the second daily JNB-SIN, it has disappeared twice from my booking and AP has rectified it both times and the agent tried to tell me the first time, they had swapped to an aircraft that was all economy class, I had to let her know, that didn't exist] (this one bothered me, cuz I had SQ 787-10 J class for SIN-BKK all set, then SQ pulled it out from under me on the day I was trying to book, so I get the crappy 330 instead.)
BKK-CAN (TG) <24 [another 350, but it was kinda just a way to get 24 hours in BKK and Guangzhou]

CAN-WNZ (ZH) <24 [crossing off Shenzhen, they always have Y space available, but I couldn't get J, I know nothing about Wenzhou, but hey, what the hell right?]
WNZ-TPE (CA)
TPE-SEA (BR) [would've booked TPE-YVR, but BR is switching the route to a 787 and isn't releasing any J space AT ALL, so I had to waste a segment going through SEA]
SEA-YVR (AC) [the other Y leg obviously, probably would've made my redemption cheaper had I not had to take this flight as well]

Basically max MPM, definitely max segments, $405, all around pretty satisfied with my redemption.
