When I do search YYZ-BRU on the AE site, I don't see this option. Before I spend hours on hold with an agent, anyone know if I'm exceeding MPM here? I can get BOS-ZRH-BRU to show on the website, best off to just book that an go revenue YYZ/YTZ -BOS?

Thanks in advance,

J

Just give it a try. It doesn't seem excessively over, and this shouldn't take hours to ticket - this is nowhere nearly as complicated as some of the more convoluted itineraries.

Thanks for the quick reply! As an aside, I was referring to the reported "hours on hold" waiting for an agent, rather than hours to ticket, but I'll give it a go and report back.

Thanks again.

Ahh, yeah fair enough. They do claim "improvements" to the system which is "creating additional hold times" (does no one see the irony in this? heh). I've been lucky, but I dunno, maybe the useless dDiamond thing is actually working, who knows.

I've got YYZ-JFK-BRU-NCE, NCE-ZRH-CDG before

Best to call AP and pay $30+tax fee to book it, spoon feed the segments
you're sure there are no UA space to BRU from IAD/EWR/ORD? I think those are less-known routes so chances are better

Not wild about the idea of UA F but it's been so long since I've flown UA, hoping for a decent experience.

You were right jerry! Thanks for the tip ^

@CC I do like a good Ice cream sundae!

I'm a bit miles heavy at the moment, so figured the extra 35k wasn't that big a deal. In all honesty, I'm hoping to try and re-route on the return segment to LH F. It's been about a year since my last F redemption, are AE recalculating YQ after the first segment has been flown? I'm not adverse to paying it if it gets me into LH F (mostly for the FCT), but if I can avoid it why not.

I know MPM is not a fixed value, but just a datapoint for you guys as a reference:

YVR-MLE: 14270 (q)

Happy flying!

I just updated the wiki with this, and if I'm not mistaken, this is a very generous mileage from YVR. I would think only Johannesburg types (& Perth?) would be able to compete with this. And there are itineraries at 10,400 miles over both oceans. YVR-YYZ-IST-MLE going over the Atlantic, YVR-TPE-SIN-MLE going over the Pacific. So that gives some good latitude for the additional stops and layovers. Does nothing for me, but for some...

Not a really useful comment considering OP is flying NA-Europe

I recently flew SIN-HKG on UA F. Much better hard product than SQ J, and service not meaningfully worse than SQ (didn't try the food as I just ate in the lounge.)

Just got off the phone with AP and they quoted me a little bit of nonsense.
Pseudo-MPM for YVR-LYR is 6196
Shortest possible route I can think of is YVR-LHR-OSL-LYR and that comes in at 6728.

It's not possible to get to LYR?!

I've been told that MPM may no longer be kinda optional to pick which crossing you use.

IE: YVR-DXB shows as 9951 AT or 10708 PA, but I'm told that each city pair now only gets 1 and it's closer to the lower of the two.

Any truth to this? If not, does this mean I can effectively PICK which crossing to take? I'm finding on expertflyer almost anything I search has both.

My other question, what's the furthest point from YVR? I SHOULD be able to just look at a map and find a point, but with the MPM crossing question what area would you target?

Based on the sticky, MEL is 9870 (expertflyer, which disagrees with the sticky not sure what's up there) MLE is 10158 (also going against the sticky). Can we think of anything further? I'm literally just looking for the furthest point/highest MPM possible from YVR.
