YYZ-SIN or SIN-YYZ Thoughts?
Heya fellow Aeroplaners!
So, I need your expertise as I've never bought Aeroplan segments outside of North America.
Context:
I have 140k Aeroplan points, am I looking for 2 tickets (economy) Singapore-Toronto OR Toronto-Singapore, sometime in May or November.
Not picky about who I fly with, except no low-cost carriers.
I want to do 1 stop at the most, don't care how short or long this stop is, or whether it's in Paris, SF, Van, Tokyo etc etc.
I ultimately want to maximize my point redemption value in a sensible manner, so my questions are:
1) How would you approach this segment? Is there a key connecting airport to be considered or a specific route I should be aiming for?
2) Would it make more sense if I for example, pay for a flight to let's say Vancouver and from there I buy the segment YVR-SIN with my Aeroplan points?
3) Do you think I could stretch to buying two Premium Economy tickets for this wanted segment with 140k points?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I should have mentioned my 140k Aeroplan points are being transferred through AMEX points. I haven't done this yet.
With this in mind, would it beehove me to transfer them to Cathay, AF, BA, etc. If my aim is to complete YYZ-SIN?
