Well no luck with Australia. It also adds a TON of fees as I end up adding another 2 first class legs (with scam charges) and Australia charges massive taxes just to fly in and out of their cities so I took a pass on that. I ended up switching my first few flights around slightly so I have an overnight in Paris rather than a same day connection in Frankfurt - seemed like a nice opportunity, I still fly the A380 with Thai, just CDG-BKK instead of FRA-BKK. Also managed to change dates slightly so I was able to add YVR-YYZ in J instead of Y. Overall, the changes added about $32 to my taxes/fees (primarily due to flying in J with AC instead of Y). Total taxes and fees are $1000 and 210,000 points with all the first class. I am still planning on switching my return home from FRA-ORD-YVR with United F for FRA-YVR in Lufthansa F for the first class terminal and direct flight but that will have to wait until 2 weeks before my return flight in October 2014.

Old itinerary:

Spoiler!

New itinerary:

YVR-YYZ-IST (stop)
IST-CDG (overnight <24 hour)
CDG-BKK (stop)
BKK-HND-FRA (stop)
FRA-ORD-YVR
