Redemption: YUL-HNL vs EWR-HNL
I was able to make an award booking for EWR-HNL via SFO via TK's online portal (i.e. 7500 miles on UA on Y class and unable to redeem J online). This was the only route that I can redeem online via the Star Alliance Award Booking Portal.
When I asked about YUL-YVR-HNL on AC, I was quoted 10,000 miles for Y and 15,000 for J. Is it cheaper to redeem UA compared to AC? Since technically COVID is going on, I would prefer to travel on the Canadian side to make things less complicated since I reside in Canada.
Anyone also did a stopover award booking, seems a good candidate to stop in YYC as they have replaced rapid testing instead of 14-day mandatory quarantine? Is it also the same 7500/10000 miles?
