SJC-YVR-PEK-YVR-SJC. YVR-PEK-YVR can be on CA metal. Books into fare class K, 50% RDM to UA, etc. 12220 miles flown. Plenty of availability through Nov and Feb-Apr.

Only bookable on AC's own site.

Pretty amazing deal IMO, whether for a mileage run or for an actual trip. Miserable flight though - the TPAC leg is on either AC's 77W 3-4-3 (400 or 450 seat config depending on dates), or CA's similarly dense 3-4-3 77W. I didn't see any dates with CA's 3-3-3 config, but I also didn't look too hard.

CA or AC? Link goes to Air Canada but your thread title says AC and the body of your post says both CA and AC.

Note: AirCanada.com shows flights operated by AC and CA so you can choose either it appears.

This books into AC "K" class which earns 50% RDM and 100% PQM on United.

if I lived anywhere near SJC I would jump on this. What a great fare.

Ticketed on AC, but the TPAC segment can be either AC or AC codeshare of CA metal.

Is there a way to route this via a third country to make it visa free? Or have to nest separate tickets?
