AC matching KLM's promotion nice!!! in T+ TOO!!!!!! managed to get 5cpm.
Will probably book several of these tonight.
Also with an early flight from IST-MUC or FRA(8:00am arrival) and the next leg leaving the morning after back to Canada, you get a free day in muc or fra.

From the test I did, it's in a fare that gives no miles.

Same fare is available on UA via EWR (less taxes too than a European connection) - and at least you know you ll earn 100% on all flights

I think it is still a fairly good fare ex-NA for AC, fares NA-Europe are hardly available below 1k lately.
For a weekend city trip to IST it's a nice deal I think!
EDIT: You can get the same fare ex-YVR to IST as well!
That's a good deal ex-YVR, however, again no miles for LH-operated FRA-IST or MUC-IST sectors.

It's quite a deal. Nice to see some price matching for once.
Note there is a $60 visa fee (on arrival) at IST for Canadians.

I booked YYZ-AMS a week ago on United (via ORD there, IAD on the way home) for just $80 more, and it gives me 100 percent miles on every leg. Wife will join me in AMS on a redemption ticket, which worked out to $140 all-in on United, versus $540 on AC/LH metal.
The identical United itinerary is now even less, and $40 below AC's deal. Bummer - I should have waited a week!

Booked myself and Mrs. JPCAG for Feb on AC anyways so that I can try and upgrade both of us to J. Also get one day in Frankfurt so that is a perk.

I just booked two tickets Calgary - Frankfurt - Istanbul return for $172 base fare plus $582. in taxes fuel etc each ... LH flights don't earn anything but at that cost who cares. While looking at the fares i saw deals for Peru and I also booked YYC- YYZ -Lima return for $439 return base fare plus $449 tax fuel etc each.
All fares are T+ so I have the "new elite at 50,000" covered.
Its going to be a busy November.

so you spent over $1600 to get ~20000 miles
Enjoy your trips.
