Stopovers permitted for most of the fares.

Depart 27 Apr 09 - return by midnight 03 May 08
How do you get the AC fare? I only see Saturday departures and only one is $79 (May 2). If I can get AC ticket stock I'll cancel the UA booking.

AC's S is Tango Plus; what about UA's S when it's a codeshare on AC metal?

Appears to be very little availability on AC though I found May 2 on the outbound...

Nice find, OP - This will make a great anniversary trip.

Was able to pick-up YVR/SFO/KOA/LAX/YVR April 27-May 2.
Also booked the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa for 5 nights on points.

Total per person @ $232.70 - A great start to the new year

Fare rules offer free stopovers and 4 transfers - so there's an opportunity to get creative!

I was able to get the price down (currency conversion related) quite a bit by booking thru united.ca - seems they use a rate of about 1.21 - which is much better than my cc would process it through at right now (about 1.29).

It pays to check!

It worked for me to have stopover in SFO on way there and LAX on way back, but I already have time in KOA and HNL so other than the 6 hour layover in SFO, I'm not going to add anything more in.

glad it helped some

I initially was searching for a tag on fare to other booked flights I have but the dates don't fit mine. Would be great for anyone who might now find themselves in YVR having already just done a long MR

Thanks again to the OP. I couldn't take advantage (billykid123 is preventing me from flying these days) but my sis-in-law & husband in YVR who's wanted to to go HI for years, did - and she keeps thanking me for finding it, and I steered her towards the OP!

Thanks so much. Partner & I, and another couple are going together now. We got seats together. We'll check-in at airport as they still seem to give *G E+ seats when you do that instead of OLCI. 3/4 of us are *G.

You can also do YVR-HNL/HNL-KOA/KOA-YVR.

The connection on the way down is nicer to HNL.

The only o/b from YVR available was May 2 - and the AI fare came in over $400 for that.

I'll stick with my $265 and go for lunch in SFO

If S class is available, you can do it from April 27-May 3. I have it on hold for April 24, but the 6am morning YVR-SFO S class availability is now slim.

Awesome deals. I wish there was something out of YUL or YYZ ... _getting_ to YVR from YUL is almost $800 in itself, doh
