Search both direct and connecting to be safe. Sometimes, an agent can "stitch" segments together if they don't show up as one big route, as long as the max mileage rules and region rules aren't violated.
Perfect, thank you. Makes sense on #2. On #2/Lufthansa and Aeroplan, has there been any trend recently of them releasing more J (or F) availability during a specific window of time?

And for #1, great. Wasn’t sure if there was a cancellation fee etc. Thanks!
