Is this Aeroplan VIE//ATH open jaw award ex-SFO valid?

I've never booked an Aeroplan award and am trying to help some friends. Would this be OK? My research shows they will need to call Customer Service to book. Correct? I see availability for 1), 2) and 3)

1) SFO-LIS-VIE (open jaw)
2) ATH-LIS (stopover), 3) LIS-SFO

Yes that should be valid. As per Aeroplan "Intercontinental travel (travel between two continents): Two stopovers permitted in addition to the point of turnaround. One open jaw is permitted in lieu of one of the two stopovers.”

As you mentioned unfortunately this can't be booked online and you'll have to call in.

You can check the availablity of individual segments by checking the corresponding one way flights. That way, you are prepared when you call.

How about this?

SFO-LIS-VIE (open jaw), JTR-MUC-FRA (stopover), FRA-YUL-SFO

I have SFO-LIS-VIE already ticketed as a OW award. Want to change to a RT with the above routing.

Also valid. But an extra ~$400pp in surcharges for the return as you are flying AC/LH

Maybe see if you can get LX ZRH-SFO and go FRA-ZRH to avoid high YQ.
