Double connection definitely possible. Best availability during midweek. YYZ-EWR/IAD-SFO-SLC very possible, though tough to get shorter turns. 3.33 cpm possible if YYZ-EWR-SFO-SLC outbound and SLC-SFO-EWR-YYZ return can be booked with elite minimums.

Should also note, availability is excellent (with one night stay) in April and May. SLC isn't too expensive for hotels either, multiple well priced hotels convenient to the airport.

Great find, BUT I was a lot more excited when I thought this was YYZ-SCL, not YYZ-SLC!

If it was YYZ-SCL I'd be making the 12+ hour drive up from BOS .

Doesn't get much better than this from Canada! Thanks OP. Too bad I have no foreseeable reason to be in YYZ or SLC (would love to snowboard Utah but no time) in the next few months.

Gone. The cheapest return now seems to be WA14FN at $611 r/t.

I am seeing YUL SLC (YUL-ORD-LAX-SLC-SFO-EWR-YUL) (e.g. 22-26 Feb) for $419 a/i, but which is hardly as interesting as OP's find.

AC K-Fare earns nothing on UA doesn't it.

*A does their earning by who owns the plane you fly on. As long as your plane says "United" and has an ugly globe on the tail (or even if it still has a nicer tulip) you will get 100%. If someone was on an AC plane, a K fare still seems to earn 100% from what I can see, but I don't know UA as well as DL or particularly AA/Oneworld so I'll be happy to be corrected if wrong.

Is this the first deal ever involving a Canadian airport?

always avoid AC planes and fares. AC have come up with new non earning codes\fare classes. Also without AC status they don't care and do nothing.
This deal died quickly however not before our group bought 11 tickets.^

That depends on how you define "deal". That being said, this is the first time I see a sub 4 cpm fare out of YYZ.
