Ask the agent for the MPM for YVR-JNB and YVR-LED and ensure you stay under these.

i imagine its your return leg from JNB that caused the denial in option 1.

JNB-ADD-DXB-BKK-ICN-LAX-YVR is 16,481
JNB-BKK-ICN-LAX-YVR is 14,941

The quoted YVR-JNB in the thread wiki is 16,158. The first one exceeds it by ~300 miles

MPM is not calculated on the entire round trip mileage. Its calculated per direction. The route in each direction (origin to farthest point & farthest point back to origin) has to fit within the city-pair mileage allowance.

Your BKK thing probably wont work either. YVR-BKK is quoted to be around 12,150 in the thread wiki, and BKK-ARN-LED-WAW-YYZ-YVR is over 12.5K.
It's close though, and the route has some wastage, so 2 ideas
1. if you can take a more direct route to LED instead of to ARN and back (geographically), it could probably work. Maybe a connection in Moscow instead of Stockholm (no idea if it even exists, just throwing it out there)?
2. if you use a different city than YYZ home that shortens the flight path, like via FRA, or even ZRH. YYZ is a big detour (it might look like a straight line on a flat map but on a sphere its way out of the way)

What I'm thinking of booking is YVR-JNB-BKK-YVR. Alternatively, I'd be interested in YVR-LED-BKK-YVR (in either order).

So I called today and had...
YVR-LHR-JNB-ADD-DXB-BKK-ICN-LAX-YVR (total 26,824)
denied.

But...
YVR-LHR-JNB-BKK-ICN-LAX-YVR (total 25,284)
Approved.

Did I really go over with the extra 1,600? Or am I doing something wrong? I still can never tell if I'm ok or not unless the flights are in kind of a straight line.

So as I said I'm also interested in YVR-LED-BKK-YVR...what I'm looking at is like...

YVR-PEK-BKK-ZRH-LED-WAW-YYZ-YVR or something like that. But based on the lines on gcmap, I can't imagine it would be approved, so I tried to straighten it up a bit. YVR-PEK-BKK-ARN-LED-WAW-YYZ-YVR. Would either of these work? If not, is there a way to include these 2 cities together, or is it just a non-starter?

YVR-NRT-BKK-IST-ZAG-LED-ARN-PEK-YVR?
YVR-NRT-BKK-IST-ZAG-LED-CPH-YYZ-YVR?

Thanks very much, I think this sheds a bit of light for me on how to do this without just having to call them for approval.

FWIW, I was tooling around on the AP website and YVR-BKK-LED-YVR is valid, but one direction seems to be forced through Europe. I kinda wanted to avoid that, because sometimes finding availability not on LH is a bit tough, but now that I know it works I can narrow it down.

One routing that was valid was...

YVR-HKG-BKK (stop) BKK-ARN-LED (stop) LED-FRA-YVR

Problem was it included $900 of "surcharges" assuredly lots of that was LH and then some would've been from TG. So I just gotta try and find more LX/SK flights.

But again, thanks for the detailed post and for the comment about YYZ, because it does LOOK like a pretty good shot from CPH-YYZ, but I'll try ZRH or others.

Could someone add YVR-NBO MPM.
Thanks.

YYZ-AKL, 15,108 (this is what I was given, use w caution, it seems like an error, or I don't understand why via the hub YYZ is more than YHZ, which is further, and requires an additional segment)
Added these to the wiki, thanks.
Did not add the YYZ-AKL value, as someone already has a quoted MPM for this in the wiki, and it's quite a bit lower than what you were quoted.

Minor news, just called AP to get clarification on something...I also asked what the MPM was for YVR-JNB, it's now 16392, a small increase from before.

This is as of Jan 3, 2017.

Why would you need that number? (serious question). Unless you wanted to stop in ... say ... Gander or Greenland, there's nothing you can do to stop in between -- and literally ANY other point you choose will be further, hence requiring THAT point to become the MPM you need.

Why would you assume so? You can book YYZ-FRA via IST, so routing YYZ-LHR via something like MUC or VIE should be doable.

But my point is, *any* nonstop routing to LHR will be legal, and the moment you stop *anywhere*, that will be further than LHR so that will be the new MPM.

Trying to route YYZ-YUL-ZRH-LHR-ZRH-YUL-YYZ on LX (for the no YQ and for the service). I couldn't come up with a way that put me with a turn in ZRH to make it the MPM destination

I'm willing to bet with 99% certainty that this would be allowed. You'd probably have to call in, as this won't show up online, but it should be no problem.

YYZ-ORD-FRA-LHR is valid - I've booked it before. YYZ-YUL-ZRH-LHR is under that.
