If you do not like this choice, you call aeroplan office, and you will pay a fee to have someone to dig more Star Alliance reward options.
The web site does not give all the available flight connections for Air Canada flights, esp if one wants to go from A to B via one or more intermediary cities (in our case, YOW to YVR, via YYZ).
