But with Singapore Airlines on the HKG- SIN portion.
But it may make your trip too short!

If you depart on Dec 28 and keep return at Jan 4, this then prices out at CAD$5700 each- still below the USD$4500.

An option has popped up for CAD$5400 ea, but you need to fly China Southern on the way there through Guangzhou . Also, you would leave YYZ at 12:30 am on Dec 27 (but you will get into SIN much earlier on Dec 28. Same flights (NH, AC on the way home) on Jan 4.

I started poking around in fares on EF a bit more.
LH has a good one. But surprisingly it doesn't show up on GF without forcing it.
YYZ-FRA with a late departure, ample time to enjoy the SS. I'd probably go on the 26th.
FRA-SIN and SIN-FRA on LH
FRA-YYZ on AC. Then I just need to figure out how to go west from there.
And the fare difference between not-upgradeable and upgradeable isn't too drastic, such that I'd be tempted to book D for the return since SIN-FRA is F6 (FRA-SIN is F0).
Need to figure out the logistics here, but this works best at the moment. AQM on all segments, some AQD, Signature Suite, good schedule, and a chance for LH F.

I just checked ARN-SIN and it's available for about 37,000 SEK = roughly $4060 USD. Doesn't solve the AE -> non-AC rev issue though.
Anyway, just a thought.

AF/KLM has flights for USD 4302 each available right now on their website for Dec 28 departure with Jan 6 return ( a little more expensive for Jan 5 return, and even more for Jan 4).

Seems like space opened up on flights that wasn't available before. That outbound is one of the ones I was looking at before, but the inbound wasn't available. Thanks!

They called me at 2am (I did not answer). They sent an email to say my card could not be charged (though there was a pending $1). I called Chase, who said there was no issue with my card, and the only way this could have happened is if they entered the billing address wrong (they weren't seeing a declined transaction).
FN then said "it's no longer available, and the same flights are now $8000" or something like that.
The issue I'm running into is availability in lower J buckets, not overall fare. But YYZ-KUL looks like it has higher fares than YYZ-SIN

I tried to book this. Got a FlightNetwork confirmation, but after 90 minutes or so I had not received a ticket.
