not exactly fair to price out at OW. RT is more accurate. But awesome redemption!

Priced this exact itinerary as Multi-city. The OW was originally priced with a throw-away return as the cheapest possible alternative. I always value my awards that way. Of course OW is usually even more ridiculously priced.

YUL-CDG in AF J 789
Stopover for 4h 10m in Paris, France
CDG-XXX in AF J 320

Booked a random leg to somewhere in Europe, TBD if going to use it or not, as it was the same price with or without.

22,000 Amex Points at 1:1.25 xfr to Flying Blue + $250 = 25+ CPM.

LAX-NAN-AKL//CHC-NAN-LAX in J. 110K AS x 2
@Dan did you end up keeping this? Im trying to create Itinerary and:
1) NAN for 2 days seems impossible on the way there as you cant bring any food in (unless form AUS or NZ)
2) NZ shabbos 2 days?,....kinda ruins any itinerary options for short trip

I have it, though I don't think I'm using it.
We were only connecting in NAN.
As far as NZ, see https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=10713
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Ya had almost everything worked out for a 2 day NAN stopover then 8 days NZ, from Sitter to shabbos, to an available flight home to work and everything etc, but for some reason didnt think of the 2 main issues....was going to change the NAN to just stopover until the shabbos issue..
I guess being chabad does have some perks...lol
