Doesnt make a difference. It does not price out on a one way.
I know. I was just wondering. What is the exchange Marriott to UA?
(I have more SPG)

Any other way to make this work?
When I input LHR-YYC, it gives me options through ORD.
It doesnt show lhr-yow-yyz-yyc.
Can a rep see more options?

Did you check with IB? Marriott and Chase both transfer to IB. 270k MA becomes 120k IB Avios

I want to go to TLV for July with 6 people.
I found YYC-LAS-SFO-TLV which I can book with Aeroplan.
But I am at a loss to get back. I have enough miles with AA or UA (saver coach). But availability is nil.

I don't have an IB account. I have plenty of AA miles.

I feel there is a way to build this through AA with SAAver and AAnytime awards. There are 6+ seats on 7/31 TLV-LHR at 12.5k Avios +163.81

I see lhr-dfw-yyc on 8/1 for AAnytime 65k. Is that my best option? That's a lot of miles.

Create your own itinerary days are over. If you cant create it as a one way online it will cost more than one award.
Found a rep that pieced it together and priced it at 42.5!! But alas, he claimed lhr-yow only had 4 seats. (Even though, it showed available online when I searched for 6 pax.)
Will try again tomorrow.

DP saying it works is strong then one saying it doesn't, especially cause the post says there's still agents doing it.

I'm glad to hear that someone was able to get it. I guess that changes what I wrote.
