Generally, I am pretty knowledgeable on fares etc. but with such a low (C$633.75 all in) fare on AC (AC856 & AC859), I was wondering if there was a catch like not being eligable for Q miles etc. I take these flights a few times a year for a guys weekend in London and this has been the cheapest I have seen in a while. I have also heard of stories of some of the discounted Expedia fares sometimes not being eligable for accumulating miles.
