For our Canadian friends, and for Americans willing to make a connection via Canada, we’ve got some great news to share. Whether you’re coming or going (you’d be hard-pressed for a nicer stopover), this survey for Asia-bound travelers was made for you.

Our research team poured through flight data to find you the amazing availability of hidden premium seats—which normally run $4,000 to $8,000—using your miles or Amex or Chase Points.

We focused primarily on nonstop flights from Canada to Asia on Air Canada, All Nippon, Cathay Pacific, and Japan Airlines. They’re all in Business Class, as no First Class service is offered between Canada and Asia.
