I managed to use 210k Aeroplan miles to get a mini-mini-RTW:
1. JFK-HND-PEK in NH F and CA J
2. PEK-ZRH in LX F, stopover in ZRH
3. ZRH-GVA-JFK in LX F
It is also possible to do a second stopover in HND for a couple of days but sadly I don't have time to spend in Japan ... Still, NH F and LX F are great ways to burn miles!

Still a few left on the Far East. Grab them quick!
Gotta burn those points!! BOS-ZRH would've only gotten me the A340, so I had to get the 777 somehow.

@DrunkCargo came through for me.
I have one SFO-ZRH, and two ZRH-YUL.
Now the question is what to do. I suspect I'll move my SFO-ZRH to be something more like YYZ-USA-MUC/FRA-ZRH within 14 days to get value out of the 140k, and so I'm not sitting behind my companion

Except that it seems criminal to pay 105K for HKG-ZRH, when this am you could have gotten HKG-ZRH-JFK for 110K.

I had a TP/NZ business class booking already. I phoned up Aeroplan and changed it to LX F. Agent took care of everything, charged (or in my case refunded) the fees and said it was all good. I kept the same PNR.
On the Air Canada website it shows booking class economy O (which is really F award), and my seat assignment is in 1A, but it also says premium economy (flexible) in the header. I am confused...

This was mentioned previously in other threads and IIRC, @canadiancow explained it in a posted reply.
