For YYZ-TPE, there was no other econ award seats on Jan. 1 (only through VIE), or Jan. 2. I'll keep checking. Hope something comes up to go through one of other gateways.

Its the longest LH flight, it has what appears to be an easily bookable F cabin, it's on a 747-8 (which I've never flown on), and I like Buenos Aires! Now if I can throw in some other cool F cabins on the same booking I'd be thrilled. I've only flown CX and LH in F so far (I know, roughing it).

34 miles over maximum MPM, is there any room for overage here? Is this itinerary valid?

YVR - ORD
ORD - LIS
LIS - VCE
VCE - ATH
ATH - CAI
CAI - DXB (STOP)
DXB - BKK
BKK - SIN
SIN - KUL
KUL - SGN
SGN - TPE
TPE - YVR

Maybe add something in southern India like MAA? A stop there would become your destination and the rest would be fine (as long as SIN is just a layover, not a stop)

All partners (TP, TK, BR & UA) EXCEPT SQ, show correct info on their sites, including the new tickets (TK requires ticket number to pull up reservation not made thru them).
Both TP and TK keep the seat selection (TP seat selection cannot be done online, I did that via calling in the past). BR seat selection is re-assigned by the system. I redid it online back to our preference of window seats.

SQ though,shows the reservation is "confirmed" but not ticketed! I notice the screen looks different from the screenshot I previously taken, and then realize the print button of e-ticket and receipt is grayed out - I have a PDF file from this button when the tickets were first issued.

The oddest thing is, Amadeus does not recognize the SQ PNR which is shared by TP and BR as all 3 use Amadeus system. Even the ever-reliable QR site that can pull up almost any Amadeus PNR, also could not pull up the reservation with the SQ / Amadeus PNR!

Saudia site though, recognizes the new ticket numbers and shows every segment is "paid" with coupon status either Open for use or Airport Control.

Called Aeroplan about SQ site showing "not ticketed". Agent went to SQ site using SQ PNR and saw what I saw. She had to call supervisor to find out because in Aeroplan system, everything is fine. After very long hold agent (who waited to be connected to the supervisor) came back to explain that SQ site would behave like that once a ticket is reissued. I decided to call SQ to make sure. SQ US call center is actually based in Philippines. The Philippina phone rep confirmed the booking was ticketed - the ticket numbers in her system match the new ticket numbers I have. BUT, all previously selected seats are lost so we redid the seat selection over the phone. She also sent me a pdf file showing the itinerary and SQ seat assignments. The itinerary still does not show any ticket number though.

IIRC I have read about either on this thread or its own thread, that someone called SQ 2 weeks before departure to get seat assignment on his Aeroplan RTW which had reissuances, then found out SQ did not receive the tickets. At the end his whole itinerary was rebooked with different routing incl some portions were purchased by Aeroplan...

Frankly I am not impressed by SQ website even when the tickets are first issued and SQ site print button was working. SQ display never shows any ticket number versus all other partners show the ticket numbers even they are not the issuers. I think we all know the importance of ticket number being the proof of the reservation is now ticketed and can actually be flown... Not seeing the ticket number always makes me nervous.

ATH and BKK are my other two stops, Dubai being the PoT :/

No can do - BKK is further than DXB from YVR, that will be your POT, and the whole thing subject to YVR-BKK MPM

Need some help guys trying to plan a Euro trip.

Looking at these dates. July 18/19 to Aug 1.
I found a few routes going through the states which is fine everything else is aircanada and the taxes are way to much.

YYZ
MAD(Madrid)
FCO(Rome)
CDG(Paris)
YYZ

Which order would i have to go in? I'm assuming FCO is my furthest point.
I found a few routes with Swiss airlines that have a layover in ZRH from MAD-FCO
Also from FCO-CDG Swiss airlines that layovers in ZRH is that still valid? or can i not layover in the same city twice?

I'm basically open to anything with these 3 countries if anyone can help.
I can also am fine adding stop to avoid taxes if i have to not a big deal.

Any help would be appreciated

You can order the cities anyway you wish, but FCO will be considered your destination. Maximum permitted mileage for YYZ-FCO is 7516 miles, which means the total routing to and from FCO cannot exceed 7516 miles each way. The other limitation is you can not transit the same city more than once on either side of FCO.

You can connect in multiple cities, it's only when that connection exceeds 24 hours it is considered a stopover.

The transatlantic flights are HARD this late in the summer. There's actually space EWR-MAD on UA so you can get there. The cities you want don't have a *A airline based there so you'll need to go through a spoke like LIS (TP) or ZRH (LX). So something like yyz-ewr-mad-lis-cdg-zrh-fco would get you there an be legal. Just no idea how to get you back. I'm not seeing any availability transatlantic around August 1. If you can find something you should be able to do the rest.

MikeyT

yeah I was having trouble finding a route back to YYZ.

I did a bunch of searches 1way on the aeroplan site and can't find anything.

what site are you using to see the flights around Aug 1?

i Just need to be back for Aug 3 I have a wedding

Thanks for your help.

Has anyone had success doing a mini-RTW going YYZ to HKG as dest and return via Atlantic, counting it as a Asia 1 redemption?

The psuedo-MPM wiki shows YYZ-HKG to be 10957 (q), some routing (via CDG, WAW, VIE) are just shy of 10000, but some (IST, DOH, LIS) are approaching the 10957.

asovse1

Our outbound is TATL, but we made it work via CDG and IST! Great Circle Mapper

And yes, it's Asia 1 for us!

So the 10,900 mark is trustworthy. Thanks for your super quick input! Much appreciated.

ThisFunGuy

What if I change BKK to SGN as the stop instead? Will that work with DXB as POT? First stop will be VCE
