Flight to Tokyo used to be $1000-$1200 by AC or 12,000 airmiles + $150. Now it's $1830 by AC or 11,000 air miles + $770, all because AC's base fare is $1075 but have an additional $658 surcharge fee. It's that fee that's making airmiles not look reasonable anymore.
True, but the 6,000 mile hike on the Australia flights is brutal.

Overall it's been good, 3 years ago I booked 2 flights to Krakow on miles, fees were so low I don't even remember what they were. Maybe $185.
