The greater the choices the better the prices.

sorry about the error with the link...
Anyways yes I agree, the more choices we Canadians have, the better the prices, especially with AC!

Terrible timings. Too early out of ORD and arrives back too late. The return is almost too early for the cruise traffic.

The timing is right for connections from other cities to/from ORD.
There are also 2 flights a day from STL in addition to the DFW service.

You'll have a very long wait. AA will only start flying its own metal to HKG if oneworld folds and it no longer has a marketing agreement with CX. It pulled back from the Pacific [including Australia and New Zealand], save for Japan, due to NW and UA's domination, and the strong presence of even DL in that part of the world, after the latter picked up most of the former PanAm authorities and aircraft. AA's overseas push went into the NAtlantic and SAmerica. It goes for high margin routes, not ones where discounting runs rampant and their is an enormous cost of entry. That's what alliances are all about...
