Thank you! Really appreciate it as a good starting point.

1. OP said, from YVR.

2. No arrivals lounge at FRA. An MLL, yes.

There is a separate business class lounge at YVR? Where is it?

I was flying AC business YVR to LAX the other week and just went to the Maple Leaf Lounge. Nobody told me that there was something else.

@sokolov
The AC Signature Suite in YVR just opened yesterday and not accessible for U.S. departures.

2. FRA has an arrivals lounge. It is run by LH.

The FRA arrivals lounge does not permit AC passengers. Except maybe with LH status. But certainly not an SE traveling any airline other than LH (group) or UA.

Some trick to finding this kind of price / itinerary?
Good price.

Correct.

@LesDorgo

And to make sure the information you posted is clarified - and not to derail the thread

See this LH page on Admission Rules for the lounges and the column on the far right for the Welcome Lounge. AC pax are not included in the list. Perhaps a suggestion to update your post upthread.

Also the itinerary shown departed from Tunis, not YYZ or YVR as requested.

The flights I posted are TUN-YYZ
TUN-FRA with LH, you can stop and use the LH arrivals lounge in FRA. FRA-YYZ. spend some time in YYZ.
YYZ-FRA, get to use the Signature suit. FRA-TUN end.

the person asked for a cheap J flight that they can use the SS for cheap, the flights I posted do this.

Is it ideal for every one No,
It is cheap J and and gets to use the SS and FRA arrivals lounge for less then $2000.
it is a little bit out of the box flying to get every thing the person wants.

I appreciate your creativity, but OP wrote this (bolding mine). I also sense a comma would have helped clarify.

Thank you.

IMO, he was looking for destinations with YVR or YYZ as the departure point and he specifies in business class with AC.

canadiancow Mar 16, 2020 11:24 am

Yeah, it's not cheap if you need to position to and from TUN on both ends.

LondonElite Mar 16, 2020 12:00 pm

Suspect it might be a while before this trip gets off the ground anyway...

FlyerGoldII Mar 16, 2020 6:45 pm

AC from YOW to VIE this summer/fall - about $3500
AC from YYZ to VIE- almost $1500 more expensive!
