Hello Rick,
So, is it possible to travel from North America to Africa while connecting in Atlantic/Pacific ?
Although there are no documents saying you can’t transit the Pacific Zone enroute to Africa, in practice, it’s not impossible via the call centre. Transiting the Atlantic Zone is fine.
Does the Priority Award fine print actually cover what you did in your booking? Your trip doesn’t include further travel after YYZ, there’s no two flights with the same origin and destination, and there’s no more than 1 RT itinerary (I only count 1 which is YUL-SFO-YUL), unless you count the multicity mess of YYZ-EVERYWHERE ELSE-YYZ.
And if you swapped SFO-YUL and YUL-LAX for SFO-YOW and YOW-LAX, it’s definitely only one RT. Just a very complicated multi-city. 🙂 Connecting though the origin might pose a problem however, especially if using a hub.
I believe AC interprets all the embedded open-jaw combinations as round-trips, so yes I basically have 5 round-trips embedded in the six bounds.
Either way, still worth playing some agent roulette if you’re truly looking to maximize. 😉
