Is there a better way to book this?

CMN CDG BKK J
90,500 AF + $279


DL is 80K + $550
Any way to check how much Qantas would charge?

AA is better @ 75k + $84.90, on Royal Air Maroc CMN-CDG-HEL-BKK.

There's also EuroBonus, but with EgyptAir (yuck for me) @ 78k + $0 via CMN-CAI-IST-BKK.

YUL to BOS in J

16.5K AC + 127 CAD
Or
$350 USD United travel Voucher

Going to add a lap infant so I believe that AC it’s free but otherwise it will cost $20ish I think
Doesn’t seem like there much of a difference really

Depends, how long is the voucher is valid for, do you have any other trips in mind to use to voucher. Do you have AC points you're looking to burn.
Keep in mind if you use the voucher you'll also earn points on the ticket.
Both options make sense
