And you're really gonna come back every shabbos? Or just want the possibility
That would be pretty expensive, being as you still have to fly in (and avios are up to 7.5k).
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

National one-way rental is pretty cheap..

Every second Shabbos?

I've been doing it for a while. I have too many Avios for my own good.

Tentatively booked every Thursday for the next few months, even though most was only available in J... The way I look at it, I will likely never be able to swallow 15k for a 1-way flight to YYZ J or not, so might as well enjoy it until the end of the era. Which is tonight... And ofc, the fact that if E opens up for any of these flights I'll just refund the points pay $7 and get back 1.5k Avios  8)

So I can basically justify flying J by asking myself: would I cough up 1.5k for a biz class upgrade? yes.

Alot of transcons from YVR were available in Feb/Mar including to places like Florida. Travel on/after April increased the airfare.

Yes, I was very lucky to find them to PHL in May. It's tempting to get a free transcon but price-wise it may actually end up being more.

I've already paid $10 pp for LAX-YVR on 5/11 and 250 miles each for YVR-LAX on 5/13 and YVR-PHL on 5/18. Need to be in LA 5/13-5/15. So the options are:
$93 BWI-LAX on 5/11 and $93 LAX-BWI on 5/16, going to YVR before LAX. Problem here is very early morning drives between PHL and BWI, one right after a redeye. Also a 1 hr 15 min connection in LAX from Alaska to WestJet, which are in different terminals and may not even check bags through.
OR
~$150 EWR-LAX or BWI-LAX on 5/13 and $92 LAX-YVR, hoping for AA economy saver space to open up for PHL-LAX on 5/13 (12.5k avios is more than $150 but it's worth it to fly out of PHL), going to YVR after LAX.

Currently I have the first option booked on AS, refundable until 60 days before, so there is plenty of time to wait for other options to arise. That's the best part about these glitch tickets, they are basically free!!

In case anyone was wondering...
http://pointsmilesandmartinis.boardingarea.com/2016/02/delta-to-honor-0-fares-and-250-skymiles-from-canada/
I actually wasn't.  I trust DDFers.
I just called delta and they told me that they know about the glitch and they will be honoring it,
Why did you do that?
How about someone asks on Twitter?
Go for it.
I did and they gave a number to call so when i called they said they are honoring them

On the ticket receipt, it shows the full price, as if it was a reg ticket booked, only in the email it does $0 charged.

If I am flying NYC – YYZ – SLC, do I need to clear customs in YYZ if not checking bags? I have only 45 minute connection within terminal 3

Did you book that on one itinerary? That's considered cabbatoge, and isn't a valid routing.

To answer your question, they will make you clear Canadian BP and reclear American BP...run!!!

Edit: see this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/canada/1676194-us-us-connection-yyz.html

Apparently, someone managed to bypass Canadian BP but still had to do US immigration.
