I always love to hear your positive approach to the game Ricky! Im very resourceful in my every day living and also learning to integrate that into this game. I didnt book a mrtw for my own reasons and I dont feel like I missed out on anything. As you pointed out there are always options and sweet spots to cater to ones needs and its all about tapping into the options I believe. Thank you for always presenting information from a positive and encouraging point of view. Always appreciated!

"And don’t forget that the initial announcement had mentioned that Aeroplan were merely temporarily suspending the old stopover allowance. Whether that means they’re merely pausing it to implement a more streamlined technical solution, or that they’ll reintroduce it in the future but in a much less favourable form, only time will tell…"
I’ll be you any amount of money that if it does get reintroduced, it’ll be on much worse terms.
When will you be posting a video to explain how to book these Mini-RTW?
I’ve tried looking at business flights to Japan and Melbourne but only come up with Air Canada results to/from Canada 🙁
well, by the time i got decent AP miles accumulated for good 6 continet trip that i was eying since you posted, but due to this mad rush i ended up burning them very bad layovers and some open jaw(YYZ-CMN-PER-OJ-MNL-YYZ) with hefty taxes ($585). but happy to see that hobby can be continued with new friends as suggested in this post. will keep an eye.
btw..i ended up having an OJ between PER and MNL during xmas holidays and have some 90k AVIOS and some MR and AP left..wanted to know your take on to go with cash tickets are use the above points to maximize the value. basically i wanted to cover PER-MEL-AKL-SYD-MNL..2 days at each city. i am open for different combinations as long as i can stay NYE in SYD before heading to MNL.
Appreciate any tips
What a great post! It only goes to say that you have to work with what you have. The aeroplan mini round the world is still possible but “maybe with a little help from your friends” ie Avios and Alaska.
The ANA idea is a good idea but for the lazier group among us, we will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into US credit cards.
As long as we do not give up all hope!
That will be my job – to drag you kicking and screaming 😉
