Living in brooklyn, takes some time to get to lga, while jfk is a breeze.

 I can take a 945am flight from jfk-yyz for 135 and I will try to apply for GE.
   Or
 Take a 755am flight lga-yyz no GE,but 99$ or book with avios for 7.5k+$5.60?

 Which sounds better?
Good chance I can get a ride to jfk for the 945am flight vs lga will need a cab for 30-35.
 And even should i take the lga,paying $99 is better then redeeming 7.5k (Real reason I want yo use the avios as they expire in November, to lazy to book and cancel for tax and fees.😉).

Buy something from Avois eStore like from Walmart to extent your Avios

I've tried that 5 times and never posted always went into pending.
Always semi posted, showed pending then declined.

Probably bought something excluded. Get something for a $1 from AliExpress. Takes time to post though.

Read the terms to ensure it's not excluded? They added very vague terms recently to not give points for resellers.

UA is the only direct LAX-ITO. If you'd like to go direct, two separate tix are your best bet. If you're open to a stopover in one of the other islands, then you have options to bundle a stopover into it.

FYI, the UA flight seems to have very low utilization, upgrades / award bookings are easy. But then a 738 is not too exciting in J.

Start with this and cross reference with availability and fuel surcharge master thread.
ETA: doesn't look like there are and direct flights, or many at all for that matter.
