Now, I have not been able to find any rewards tickets in Discovery Airlines this year, even though Lufthansa increased flight frequency from YYC to FRA and MUC. It is really in bad faith from Air Canada that if I book any revenue flights to Europe, they bring up all those Discover Airlines options, and yet if I want to book any reward tickets, all Air Canada offer is to route YYZ or YUL with all those half million Aeroplan points tickets.
Terrible!
No problem for me (as usual) finding 4Y seats YHZ-FRA for 60K points. Just booked one last week in fact YHZ-FRA-VIE-FRA-YHZ. Tons of availability all over the calendar. Stopovers and onward connections all coming up as usual.
Is 4Y restricting redemptions to YYC specifically?
