But that's not why I'm posting!
Just in case you didn't know, keep your eyes peeled for PEK-YUL-HAV, I'm sure it'd be nicer to get that direct flight if possible. If you have EF you can set up that alert, works like a charm, just fixed my AS award yesterday after I got an alert

It's hard to find REAL values for trips like this. I tried to price mine out and ITA exploded. I priced them out 1 by 1 and it was like $30k+ which no one would ever pay.
But that's not why I'm posting!

If I catch your drift, you mean to say that PEK-YUL may not show up as available, but searching for PEK-HAV or SHA-PEK, may give results for PEK-YUL-HAV or SHA-PEK-YUL, so then you can call in and get an agent to find the PEK-YUL segment to make the swap for $100 change fee?
My return date is March 5 , but i'm flexible for the March 4 aswell.
I checked on united and ana seach engine for PEK-YUL-HAV and their is nothing
SHA-YUL nothing direct

Oh see all I meant was "Hey don't forget there's a new PEK-YUL flight" so he/she might be able to skip that pesky Newark leg. That's all I meant I haven't had that issue with CA flights not showing, but then I also use Expertflyer for most of my searching.

Just booked a family mini-rtw for next August (kids will be 14 and 16), I wish I had booked this as soon as it became available because I ended up with a couple of undesired connections: VIE and LAX. Also we could no longer find direct flights from China to Montreal or Toronto (with 4 J anyway).
Trip of a lifetime. We'll add local flights in Thailand (PHK probably) and China (XIY).
YQB YUL
YUL ZRH Swiss J
ZRH VIE Austrian J
VIE ATH Austrian J - Stop 8 days in Greece
ATH CAI Egyptair - 8 hr layover - pyramids probably
CAI BKK Egyptair J - Destination 5 days in Thailand
BKK PEK Air China J - Stop 10 days in China
PEK LAX Air China J
LAX YYZ Air Canada J
YYZ YQB
Per person - about $270 taxes plus 30$.

Agent tells me I was less than 100 miles under the limit for MPM on this one. All J, except the YVR-YYZ leg.
Wanted to move the HND-YVR-YYZ leg over to the NRT-YYZ direct, but apparently this involves $450 in *additional* YQ.
YUL-ZRH - Swiss 333
ICN-SYD - Asiana 380
AKL-NRT - Air New Zealand 789
YYZ-YOW - AC 763
YOW-YUL - AC CR7
Total YQ was about $600, which is more than I'd like, but booking this late in the game I was pretty limited as far as flights on decent airlines for the dates I needed to fly.

I know, I'm bummed, but it's also several hundred dollars of YQ, and several hundred of hotels, cheaper than the AC flight three days later. I've got EF alerts set for NH availability through ORD and NYC, but I can live with 8 hours in what is essentially decent Premium Economy.
