Thanks, glad I won't be completely wasting my time on the phone for that. (Swiss and germanwings fly there)
A sidenote, germanwings (by lufthansa) flights are available at united.bomb but do not show up on aeroplan, anyone have any experience booking germanwings on an aeroplan ticket?
Germanwings used to not be bookable with united points but now they are.
Another small carrier, Air Dolomiti (EN) is 100% owned by Lufthansa but cannot be booked with united miles (about 2 years ago you could do that), I would assume the same goes for aeroplan. I'd love to be surprised however.

By the way, the United MP page about Air Dolomiti still says you can book award flights on EN:

I guess I've never called in to ask. 0 flights show online for EN so
"You can book award travel on Air Dolomiti through united.com."
is incorrect.
"You can book award travel on Air Dolomiti through united.com."
is incorrect.

Can anyone (e.g. M&M) book award travel on EN though? You always need availability to book award travel, maybe EN just never has availability?

was able to book my first mini-rtw last night, after being on hold for 1 hour and then spending another 1.5 hours booking the actual reward. Very annoying is the agent kept saying their new computer systems act up and even had to redo my whole itinerary when i wanted to change a leg to reduce the YQ, Kudos to the agent who was patient and very helpful but here's what I booked:
YYZ-ORD-PEK-TPE (Stop)-SIN-DPS (Dest)-SIN-PEK-VIE (Stop)-IST-YYZ
all in J and total YQ / Fees of $300
YYZ-ORD-PEK-TPE (Stop)-SIN-DPS (Dest)-SIN-PEK-VIE (Stop)-IST-YYZ
all in J and total YQ / Fees of $300

For so little fee, gonna guess it's mostly UA, BR, SQ, TK for the long-hauls

Just booked my second "real" mini-RTW. First in J (other was in F) and first since the new MPM system.
Didn't maximize my stops, because this was a "just for fun" kind of booking, flying around the world in three and a half days or so.
YYZ-ADD-DXB-BKK-SIN (stop)-PEK-YVR-YYZ
ET 788, ET 788, TG 333, TG 787, CA 333, AC 788, AC 321
First time on ET or CA. First time on TG 787, barring equipment change.
I believe that will mean I still have to "collect" UA and AV 787s to have flown all current *A 787s, again, assuming TG doesn't pull a switcheroo on BKK-SIN, as they are wont to do.
YQ/surcharges of $292, thanks to TG.
7:40 layover in DXB. Is that enough time to be bothered to go into town and take a quick look-see?

I think it's Asia 1, because ADD-BKK-SIN-PEK-YVR-YYZ has to be way over MPM for ADD-YYZ, but YYZ-ADD-BKK-SIN is within MPM for YYZ-SIN.
But both YYZ-SIN or YYZ-ADD are 150K in J.
Thanks for the intel. Time to do some layover research.

Just wondering if this is a valid routing ( I think it will be )
YEG -> SFO -> NRT -> CTS (TURN AROUND)
CTS - > NRT - > HNL (STOP)
ONE WAY INTERNAL FLIGHT PAID OUT OF POCKET
KOA - > SFO -> YEG
Not sure for AP if you can take internal Hawaiian flights. My assumption is you cannot therefore I'll do a one way paid out of pocket.
Now KOA flys back to the US Westcoast. Do I have to go back to HNL or could I continue on from KOA ?
Avaliablity is going to be the biggest issue as we are wanting to go in December. Ski and Surf trip
