Is your route to CGK under 11,001 miles, and your route to DPS over 11,000?

yes and thanks, JFK-DXB-CGN
a little hard to understand those mileage ranges. It looks like booking Emirates JFK-CGK for 87.5 in business is fine vs Emirates chart on Aeroplan: at just under 11k miles when Emirates chart is in effect the range’s be 120-225k points. Still this wide a range is confusing

As much as Aeroplan never ceases to impress with partner redemptions, they also they leave me questioning. For example, posted earlier about Aeroplan blocking all WY awards. Other's have written on certain routing issues with GF. I've also seen partners price at bands that don't exist, or price in the wrong band (for better or for worse). Found several DXB-MED awards not long ago, and now can't find any even when DXB-JED still shows available. The latter pricing at a higher band due to being just over a 1000 miles.
Update: Found DXB-MED again.

I'm still seeing some availability on YYZ-DXB in March-April and on routes to and from Europe and Asia into May. I cancelled my previous booking and booked YYZ-DXB-BAH-BKK with the last segment with GF. My friend booked the same ticket so we could travel together.

Just did a search again and looks like there is availability again. Hopefully it was just a maintenance issue of it not showing before

I know EK is new to AP redemptions but does anyone have experience with the time it takes for a cancelled flight to reappear? I had a YYZ-DXB flight booked in flexible J but cancelled so I could rebook at higher points redemption rate. Alas, the flight hasn't reappeared after I cancelled it. The award space shows up on EK's website and also on QF but nothing on AC ... yet. I'm hoping it'll pop back up on EK at some point. Anyone have experience trying to cancel and rebook?
