Do you think they would let me change it to NRT-YYZ-YOW? My whole goal is to get to Japan if it opens for tourists.
Or I could just wait and see. My in flight is in July after all.

I know I'm being greedy, but are there any better options that I could suggest to an agent?

I booked BKK-NRT-YVR-YWG via GF with Premium Economy selected, but when completing the booking on the AC website Premium Economy was not an option. Looking at my ITIN, the BKK-NRT section is showing as Y.

So you can stop in NRT and YVR for free if you want.

I wouldn't book to BKK right now if I could fly for free. Seems people are not really aware of (travel) conditions on the ground. I follow the news, I've lived there a few years not too long ago. If you can cancel for free since it's Latitude, that's good news for sure.

Anyway in latitude there is nothing to lose. You can always cancel for a full refund

Nah, we've been on the road since October so not really interested in extending. PE instead of regular Y for the non-J BKK-NRT would have been nice though.

Just searched up what the old Aeroplan SAUA chart was like, and so many of my regional hops in Y were just 10k "miles"! I sure hope SAUA can make its return soon so a bunch of us could lock in our upgrades on these tickets. I guess I could always bum 15k UA miles off a friend...

why I only saw this now... I was debating on YYZ-BKK/HKT-YYZ in November for the last few days. I only saw G fare for 4xx each way that AC.com is showing but GF is not. I decided to wait till the covid restrictions are removed for HKG and BKK - would have jumped on Latitude tho.

Any change to the ticket at this point seems to require refare to the current selling price.
Trying to do a simple date change (keeping same flights and same latitude economy) +/- a couple days results in a +$4,000 CAD additional collect per person . Even though the ticket in question is < 24 hours after purchase.
Not unexpected with these deals.. But still a shame, since I just realized my Jan14th booking overlaps a different trip. The Jan14 booking will auto cancel in a couple hours unless anyone has any tips.

NH G was easily bookable on OTAs
Temporarily change your frequent flyer number to a different airline. in one of the bookings and they wont auto cancel.
I've been sitting on multiple AC bookings on the same day for months.
I do hope by winter Thailand moves beyond the current restrictions. Although even now, the sandbox program is actually quite easy to navigate.
