Many thanks for the helpful suggestions.

I have now split my trip in two as follows:

DEC 30: AC 8055 7am YVR -> YYJ returning AC 8057 8 .a.m.
This fare is $157 in Freedom class = 500 + 500 +25% COS bonus = 1,250 Q miles for $314 + taxes. The nice part about this is my office is right next to YVR so I can get up an hour earlier than usual, take the flights and be at work around 9am. The nice part about this fare is that it is cheaper than thge Ottawa / Montreal / Toronto / Quebec City corridor I was looking at and the Freedom fare is actually a little cheaper than the Latitude fare.

DEC 28: AC186 redeye to YYZ booked in Latitude $571 plus taxes each waywith upgrades confirmed using SW each way. Returning DEC 29: AC185 arriving back in YVR 9:16 a.m. a little late for work. Will probably want shower. Trying to remember if the domestic MLL has a shower or can I access the arrivals lounge in international?? This route give me 2,078 x 2 + 25% COS bonus = 5,195 Q miles + 1,025 Q miles from above = 6,455 Q miles. I need 6,426 so this is REALLY cutting it fine. Hope my numbers are accurate.

Merry Xmas...
