AC - SEA-YQB - $284 Roundtrip - 8 Segments
Air Canada - Seattle, Washington (SEA) to Quebec City, Canada (YQB) - $284 / 384 CAD roundtrip with 4 segments in each direction. This is technically two one-way fares, so one-way is half the cost.
Basic Economy - $284 roundtrip
Standard - $338 roundtrip
Flex - $520 roundtrip
Comfort - $649 roundtrip
This is an Air Canada fare. If you are looking to earn PQP's and PQF's for United, here's an option. The cost per segment is quite good, but the cost per PQP is average at best (if you aren't buying the basic economy fare).
Ticket must be issued by Feb 29, 2024. Travel must commence by May 15, 2024. No stopovers permitted.
Fare Rules
NO STOPOVER OCCURS IF PASSENGER TAKES NEXT AVAILABLE
FLIGHT WITHIN 12 HOURS.

There are quite a few connection options with the fare. I'll post a few examples.
Option1 - SEA-YVR-YYC-YUL-YQB-YUL-YYC-YVR-SEA - 5124 Miles (this is the easiest to find and ticket with the Air Canada website)

I copied the roundtrip routing rules.
There are multiple versions of this fare, but here are the one-way routing rules for the $82 base fare.

Is there a way to get this with an overnight (or termination) in YYZ?
Also I'm not seeing much availability for getting a next-day-turn (ideally on a weekend) alas.

Yeah, everybody want to travel on the weekend so it'll be hard finding flights in the lowest fare codes. If you chop off a segment or two you can get an overnight or termination in YYZ. No stopovers are permitted so your next flight must be within 12 hours of your previous flight.
