Just booked a one-way J :
YUL-FRA AC J
FRA-SIN SQ J (A380
)
SIN-MEL SQ J
54000 miles +480$ (incl. 350 YQ
)
I cannot book a return trip as it is in november 2012. But now I'm sure I will be able to book my return for 80000 (will try to fly AZ J), without paying changing fees, and I won't have to pay SQ YQ if ever it comes.
And even with J-one way fare I save 1000 AE miles

Well I decided to do an impromptu trip to Europe in LX F. I was so impressed by LX F on my first Mini-RTW figured it was worth 30K more points to Europe. Didn't want to do Asia as it adds a significant amount of travel time. Anyone got suggestions for where to go in Europe in February?
Will see if they honour it I suppose, if they don't no loss for me... I'll just have the points refunded.

How are folks managing to book trips without calling in? Multi-city only offers you 3 segments. I am trying to get to SIN. I found some dates where I can do YYZ-YUL(AC)-ZRH(LX)-BKK(TG)-SIN(TG) by putting in YYZ-ZRH and ZRH-SIN as my first 2 segments. So for my final segment I input SIN-YYZ and the website only offers me AC options in economy on the transpac. Can't use IKK without increasing the miles significantly. Any ideas?

just booked a short haul to the east coast that i have to take this summer. I checked the flights against AC and it was a good enough value to cash in a few points.

I called too. They said that it's a "promo" too and advise to not change the flight to not have to pay extra miles
(notice that I don't speak about this before she said me that)
