Is this Aeroplan redemption possible?
Straight to the point.
I see on the Aeroplan chart that a flight from North America to the Pacific (zones) should be priced 115.000 when the distance is above 11,000 miles, since Aeroplan allows 6 flights in a one-way itinerary (including stopover)
A flight from North America to Europe is priced at 70,000 in a partner airline. If I want to make a couple of flights within Europe, these are priced at 15,000 points each, then I want to include a stopover of 5,000 points, then continue to the Middle East at 30,000 points, then to Asia at 30,000 points
The total distance of stops is less than the entire trip, so I should be okay there. When I put all these together, the total comes to 165,000, but according to the chart, it should be 115.000k?
Also, when I search YYZ to ZRH, the flight stops lets say, at MUC, since this is a default stop, does it count as a segment? So 2 segments (YYZ-MUC-ZRH) or just a segment as originally searched (YYZ-ZRH)?
If this is true, why should you pick a flight to Europe that costs 90,000 instead of a total trip that won't cost more than 115.000 (plus stopover)
Of course, this should be done by phone.
