I'd love to be wrong, as my wife will shoot me if it's just $6k, when she sees the credit card bill.

Well not 100K, but you could get almost 60K.

YWG-YYZ-YVR-HKG = 9384*1.5=14,074 miles one way
Assuming 4 trips: 14074*4= 56,296 AQM
All for $6K.

9.88 cpm in J. Pretty damn good for AC.

Assuming one is SE, you can get 9384*2.5*4= 93,840 AE miles with the 100% bonus mile benefit.

No - wouldn't it be 58k AQM but an SE would could also get their 100% base miles bonus (approx. 38K) for total miles of 96K?

You got it exactly. Too bad they are selling at the one time of year people are typically short on cash. Offer this in July and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Yeah that was my math - I'll be an SE anyway starting next benefit year. So this is very tempting.

What I didn't get was how just this FP gets you to SE on its own - you'd need 2 as Absolute said above.

Will be buying one, great deal and was going to head out to Asia anyways! Especially since it's quite busy during June/July for TPAC travel

It's a good deal if flying from the WEST but much more expensive if flying from EAST. I have to fly to Europe 4 times in the first 3 months of 2014. So I'm not sure if flying from YYZ if this is still a great deal?

No, it is considered as Europe on the FP website.

It would have been a sweet deal from YVR via YYZ using the new 787

There would not be any available flights since AC does not operate flights to Bangkok.

You would have to buy the pass to a city served by AC and then purchase a separate onward ticket.

Western Canada pass isn't valid for BKK.
