Today I'm flying YYC-YYZ via NRT. So...not crazy at all.
(Took AC009 to NRT, got off, walked around, had a shower in the ANA lounge, then got back on AC002 to YYZ. Upgraded both ways. The most satisfying part of the trip was that the upgrade system viewed it as YYC-YYZ and only charged me 4 upgrade credits, total!) |

How would you book the ticket so AC views it as one ticket YYC-NRT-YYZ?

Why would you be charged 4 credits? Surely the cost of a M-fare YYC-NRT-YYZ ticket would be a fairly expensive MR.

Okay... you've convinced me. :D
So here's what I'd like to find: A mileage run that would allow me, over the course of two or three long (Friday-Tuesday if need be) weekends in January & February, to earn 50K. I'm based in YQR, BTW, which makes the planning and connecting extra fun. I'd love to concentrate in Europe as I've travelled extensively there. Making hops back and forth to Paris would be fine by me. Stop for dinner, come home next morning :) I'd prefer to do most of the flights on AC metal, as I still have some e-upgrade points I could try to use on one or more of the legs. But finding routings at low(ish) cost and making sure I'm on *A partners that offer 100% status miles is the trick. And yes, I know there will be a cost :) Any suggestions of routes and fares that might fit the bill? Thanks all! If feasible to get more miles you can do a stop at SYD from NRT/SIN/ICN just to hit the southern hemisphere, or maybe JNB-Asia on SAA? |
Thanks for that suggestion as well, gtpdiddy. Do flights on SQ all count as 100% status miles? It appears so from the AC website, but I thought others might know for sure. I'd sure rather fly in SQ's economy than UA's from what I've read.
Found fares connecting me from YYC to LAX and then to SIN, but also wondered if the AC flights (YYC-YVR-LAX) would count as 100% status. Would be a horrible realization after the fact, to find out that SQ connections on AC metal were booked in T or something! :) |
If booked as an AC code share, chances are your SQ flights won't earn miles.
|
The fare codes that came up when I tried making the booking on the SQ site indicated they were T+ for the Canada-US portion, and were the right codes to qualify for status miles. Is that always a good indicator? Or if its a code share, then are all bets off?

T+ means nothing to SQ and they can book it to the cheapest fare if it is a code share purchased from AC. |
This is all good to know
I was booking on the SQ website, and when reviewing the flights, the code for the AC portion YyC-LAX came up as a V fare, which according to AC's site should be a good 100% fare category for Canada-US flights. Am I safe, do you think? |
