Check ANA for Ethiopian business class availability. If it is available, you will need to ask for Aeroplan supervisor to do a direct booking. Now whether they will agree to do it is an open question.

Be aware that Aeroplan is currently blocking all business class awards on Ethiopian. Business class award space may well be available on your route, but Aeroplan will only show economy to you.

Currently Aeroplan is not showing any award business class seats on Ethiopian, on any route, on any date.

I see nothing wrong with either routing; both look perfectly valid to me.

This one will seem obvious to somebody, but it ain't to me.
I'm looking to book a pseudo-mini-RTW, but incorporating an open jaw with an additional stop.
The condensed version (connecting flights dropped for clarity) is this:
Sorry to ask but open jaws always trip me up.

YVR-AKL (stop)
AKL-NAN (stop)
MEL (destination) - YVR
Looking through the FAQ, I'm under the MPM and seem to be okay on IATA zones, and am not routing through the same city twice on any leg. But I was wondering about the destination being on the 'other side' of the open jaw. Would this be a valid routing?AKL-NAN (stop)

Is the following a valid trip?
YYZ-IST-JNB (Stop)
JNB-ADD-SEZ (Dest)
SEZ-IST-YYZ (potentially a stop in IST)
On a related side note, when are Turkish seats released? I can't find IST-YYZ direct on turkish at any date in the future.

- Turkish stopped releasing YYZ-IST-YYZ a while ago,
- Turkish never releases IST-JNB,
- Aeroplan is blocking Ethiopian business.

Thanks for your help. YYZ-IST is dead then? That's disappointing, it is such a popular route. How long has it been dead?
