May I ask you a question? Did you call Aeroplan to book ZRH-FRA-BOS? When I searched aeroplan’s website, I couldn’t find any Lufthansa flights from FRA-BOS, not even economy class (I did T-14 with flexible dates). When I tried ZRH-BOS, no layover at FRA was presented as an option as well. Did you figure out the flights yourself, check availability on United.com and called aeroplan to book?
BTW, while I was I searching on United.com, I saw first class from FRA to IAD with Lufthansa on United (T-14) but aeroplan showed nothing, not even economy in Lufthansa. It’s weird.
I booked online on the Aeroplan search engine. I had located FRA-BOS availability and when I searched ZRH-BOS I managed to get the exact ZRH-FRA flight I wanted to show up (which wasn’t a given). So I booked it then and there.
LH F availability tends to be quite variable so I would say keep looking and I’m sure something will come up. Look for other airports too, like ORD, NYC, IAD, MIA, DFW, and IAH. Monitor availability trends in the lead-up to T-14 so you know what to expect.
Yeah there is sometimes availability that United/ExpertFlyer can see but Aeroplan can’t. Nothing you can really do about that. That’s why I recommend sticking to Aeroplan when you search, in this case.
Nothing on EI to DUB? It would have been a great way to get to LON!
I’m also wondering what was the cash value of the BOSYYZ flight, compared to the miles+taxes…
Definitely would’ve loved to review EI’s new J cabin, but unfortunately there was no availability (the ridiculous redemption rates on business class with Avios notwithstanding).
BOS-YYZ was 13,000 miles (with Aeroplan Diamond discount) and $7 in US departure taxes. Quite happy to pay that for the exact flight I needed!
The cheapest one-way I flew last year was from Dublin to Toronto with a stop in St. John for $187 CAD……but $350 CAD is definitely worth it since London’s airport taxes and fees are super expensive. And with all the airline competitions like Wow Air and etc, hopefully prices will go lower.
Agreed. I think there was even a $320 fare with like a 23h layover in St. John’s. If I had more time I would’ve loved to do that.
Wow, Prince great experience coming up! I also am using Westjet from London to Toronto next February. Flying over in business but returning in economy. The price of $350 cannot be beat on a one way from Europe. The old 767 s have lots of room. Use seatguru to get the best seat and remember the great trip on the way home!
