maximize AQM on YYC-LHR sept 30 return Oct 11/12
looking to make SE this year and as such looking to maximize my AQM's on a yyc-lhr-yyc booking for Sept 30-Oct 11/12.
I cant leave calgary until 4pm on Sept 30.
So far for $1500 roughly i can go yyc-yyz-lhr-iah-yyc for 11,000 miles.
Anyone do any better willing to buy beers/ MLL passes.
thank you,

Go through HNL on the way there or back? HNL-LHR Fares on UA are sub-$1,800 Cdn, YYC-LHR-HNL prices out about the same, of course you need to get back from HNL which would be another $2-300 or so. I don't know how discounted UA fares map onto Aeroplan AQM though.
Didn't notice your current $1,500 price. For that, you could just do a separate YYC-HNL. Nevermind.

you could probably squeeze in the YYC - YYZ - YHZ - LHR if you really wanted too. But not sure it's worth it or how many more you'd get.

Would you like to fly comfortably too and stick with Air Canada to make use of eupgrades? I can recommend you try some premium economy routings for 125% mileage accumulation, which can get you business class upgrades easier. For the domestic routings, almost instant (with latitude equivalents).
I offer you my suggestion below.
YYC-YYZ|Flex|1670*100%= 1,670
YYZ-LHR|Flex|3540*100%= 3,540
LHR-CPH|Prem Economy|608*125%= 760
CPH-YYZ|Prem Economy|3890*125%= 4,863
YYZ-YVR|Prem Economy|2080*125%= 2,600
YVR-YYC|Prem Economy|427*125%= 534
TOTAL MILES 13,966
Here is the fare on ITA matrix
Note: I booked a similar flight recently but the airport taxes was higher. ITA Matrix did not display the correct tax for this routing.

Ah but your code found the multiple stop routing on AC - I just used the easiest search to find the routing in question - I would have normally have done it exactly as you had but since I knew the routing existed I didn't have to specify AC+ nor fare E (and I never put the "x" for connection as redundant).
