Thanks for the follow ups. Looking to use a 3K AC gift card on departure for me and my spouse on a flex fare so we can upgrade (currently SE), and use AE on way home in order to see the pyramids MNL-BKK-CAI-YYZ (currently available in J with 20 hours in Cairo) as long as MPM works out. Appreciate the help on this one, going to book the departure via ICN suggested above.
