I was thinking of buying tickets on that weekend (hoping that AC might have a seat sale to celebrate the long weekend), not travelling then.

I need my second dose before I want to lock myself in an aluminum (or carbon fiber) tube again.

How much was your fare?

canopus27

I haven't booked anything yet.

YYZ-TPE in PY was about 8.5 cpm.

I'd like to do a same-day turn (on the same ticket) from YYZ-YVR or YYZ-YYC.

With respect to minimum connecting times, what happens if my inbound flight is late? Will I be protected on a later flight?

Or should I play it safe and allow 2-3 hours when booking the return flight? I'm not worried about upgrades or anything (although I'll certainly apply my e-ups, I'll be perfectly happy sitting in the seat I selected at time of booking).

Thanks for your advice!

If it's on the same PNR, you're fine.

I did a same day turn YYC-YVR-YYZ-YVR-YYC. The outbound YVR-YYZ was delayed due to a mechanical. I was switched to a later YYZ-YYC direct when it appeared I’d misconnect and was switched back as we made up the time. Involved a very helpful concierge who communicated with me by email while I was in the air.

I suspect if I was to do it again I would build in some extra connection time.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'll just keep it to a YYZ-YVR-YYZ turn, or maybe try to stopover in YYC or YEG to visit family on the way back. We'll see!

Anyone planning a summer/fall mileage run (there have been recent positive signs in the EU for summer travel), some great deals on Latitude TATL right now--I've personally never seen pricing this good: $650-800 each way and all my upgrades cleared. I originate in CPH so there might be some variance in price with Cdn departures.

Agreed on the LAT fares - big decrease as of late. You can actually get some sub $500 options from BCN (I just booked BCN-YUL-YYZ-SFO) for $482 as an emergency chute for another trip I booked via BCN to GRU (incase GRU is not a viable option when I fly). Some interesting options can be created here.

I have half a dozen or so trips booked to BCN, DUS, FCO, ZRH between August and December mostly in Latitude or P. Need to still book one to OSL but not liking those fares right now.

Subscribing to this thread as I would like to find a P Fare MR originating LAX/SFO. As discussed in some other threads here on the forum, I have a nice one SFO BCN- MAD SFO for around $1675 USD. Like to pick off one other in my quest for 1K on UA

canadiancow

SFO-YUL-CDG-ARN on July 2 (arriving 3).
ARN-LHR-YYZ-SFO on July 5.

I had to deep link from ITA to Priceline to get it, but it was about 1300 USD for PY, and there's plenty of R space.

Flying Machine

All on AC metal?? The $1300 USD converts to 4100 PQP‘s on UA if all AC metal. That looks good! Nice job

canadiancow

Um. Clearly not ALL on AC metal
And I didn't really care about UA crediting. I want 2MM and easy upgrades.

I am feeling extremely restless and thinking about booking a round-trip with a minimal layover to somewhere. Anywhere. Basically just ride the plane there, then ride it back. I want to spend a bit this year to get up toward 50% of the spend to maintain SE status into 2023 (completing the rest of the spend in 2022).

I would like to book something fairly last-minute in Flex so I can get 100% miles and upgrade into J. I’m based in YYZ.

One big consideration is places I can go where I will not need to quarantine or endure much other inconvenience as I turn around. I am fully vaccinated in Canada. I would not plan on leaving the airport.

Does anyone have suggestions of places that would be a good fit, where it’s easy to get in, easy to turn around, and where I can accumulate some good miles for no more (or not much more) than $2500?
