Swiss is your best bet out of YUL for J class.... its not the best schd, but what can you do. The best timings are on SAA via NYC or KLM via AMS

Wasn't there another thread about Canada-South Africa flights started yesterday?
If you want to fly in business, then you might find cheaper fares ex-LHR (on LH or SX) than anything from Canada. You could then combine this with an AC flight to LHR in H, and upgrade. I doubt you can price anything in J/C all the way from Canada for much under $7,000, but could find J/C flights through a London consolidator for $3,000 or so, to which you'd add $1,000 all-in for the AC transAt space.
Anything on SAA is going to be quite expensive since you need to do a connection in Europe to get the fare break you're looking for. Also, since flights to South Africa leave in the evening from Europe, you're looking at a day to kill after arriving from this side of the ocean going over. Connection home is less time consuming.

SWUs with your name on them mean nothing to me 
A threashold gift is another story! PM me if you want to discuss specific dates, but don't pay Shareholder's $7000.00 fare. You can go on SAA from JFK for less than that.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I have tried to look up different fares from YUL for next week but most of the discounted C has been sold out. Full C is a bit too rich for my blood so I might have to sit in the back of the plane.
