What you think about the $50 or so taxes to Canada? Will they have it?

Not cities, airports...
LGA is in a different zone than JFK/EWR

20K SPG vs. 36K MR. Not worth a shot?

I think it potentially could be very worthwhile. Granted that award availability changes constantly, but with 3 airlines to choose from... It should be manageable.

I was also excited about the Virgin Australia award chart for Delta.  Until I realized that it was impossible to book it even when delta saver was available.

I'd love for this to be otherwise, but let's see someone actually make a booking before counting our chickens.
