OP here, finally getting back to this thread.
FWIW, I'm PLAT, flying Swiss in First, on an AA award ticket. The routing through YUL allowed me to use a PlAAnAhead award. We're a couple flying on the award, so the savings in miles was worth it.
I appreciate all the suggestions. The best seems trying to stand by for the earlier flight to ORD.
Thanks to all for your advice,
Alfonso
