I can't seem to get the YVR to FCO under $795, even using all the sample dates. | that's the problem with these flight deals, no idea how long it would last
for San Fran, more months added to deal now, just that some are not nonstop flights
$674 (2 cities 1 trip) Vancouver to Amsterdam + Paris $674CAD+ (2 cities 1 trip) Vancouver or Calgary to Amsterdam + Paris low price - FLYCHEAPTIX

There's a cheap business class fare on AA for YVR-PTY if someone's looking for MR with some comfort.
I was able to priced out YVR-LAX-JFK-MIA-PTY round trip for around U$650.
It earns 17k+ on EQM on AA or 3.8cpm(I think with the promo of 3k miles bonus, this trip yields over 23k in RDM). A very good deal if anyone is looking to do AA platinum challenge. One trip, and instant platinum/OneWorld Sapphire.

OMGWTFBBQ HAX!
But that's one way. Using the same method for return trip pretty much evens out the pricing to regular fares. Quote:

If my ultimate destination was YYZ, most I would have looked for is maybe connecting to YUL, YHZ, etc. I would never have thought of backtracking a city back to LAX..
But since OP need a return flight, I guess there isn't really much savings to have at the end.

Yeah, it is variable - great for positioning to YYZ, not so good coming back, though I've found a few days before (not during OP's trip) that were in the $200-250 range.
You win some you lose some. If OP had some Aeroplan this could get him there one way and he could use AP to get back.

I have done this before for my sister. I booked YVR - YYZ - Kelowna.
It was $125 and she just got off in Toronto...pretty sure the airlines hate this though

You'd have to make sure you don't have checked in luggage tho.
