Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - CX announces codeshare cities with AA

according to Airwise.com, CX will place its flight code on AA flights from LAX/SFO to/from:

Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, New York (Newark/Kennedy), Orlando, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Diego, San Jose, San Juan, St Louis and Washington DC / Baltimore (DCA, IAD, BWI).

Smile.... your mother could have placed you in an A340!

Does this mean that all those cities are now a single flight segment destination from LAX and/or SFO? I've never seen a code-share tag-on that wasn't a single flight number, but most of the cities on that list don't have non-stop service to LAX/SFO.

Any reason why these couldn't be flights to/from JFK in addition to LAX and SFO?

AA/CX has won codeshare approval!!!

The article means that CX will add their flight numbers to AA flights. But it does not mean that AA can codeshare on CX flights to HKG.

When flying out of Chicago ORD, what differences will this mean in terms of using AA miles to Asia or finding good fares that earn AA miles?

</font>Probably zero, while CX gets to keep the revenue for any codeshare flights that it sells (but pays AA for the seat), it is unlikely to make consolidator tickets available on the codeshares (can't afford to, AA charges too much) ... doubt there will be any change in availability or cost. The bottleneck for availability is the trans-pacific portion and nothing has changed in that respect, in fact for ORD the codeshares may be a negative, as it lessens the value to CX of having a non-stop ORD-HKG flight.

I was pleased to today make my first use of the AA/CX codeshare -- in a way that helped me out of a bit of a pickle.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum71/HTML/014366.html has the details.

(Yes, this is a separate trip from my much-discussed [sorry!] trip to TPE in CX NBC. Trying to continue my tradition of going to Asia twice in February-March each year!)

One bad outcome for AA miles holders will be the end of your ability to use AA miles to upgrade on CX flights. I just called the Plat desk to ask for a couple of friends who live in Asia, and they must make reservations by July 31, and do the trip by Dec. 31. After that, not possible. And even now, the ticket has to be a full Y to upgrade.

I guess you can still get award tickets, however??

Thanks for posting that. An interesting list.

Makes sense, by and large. But why no JFK-DCA codeshare? Certainly that would work out fine for the departing leg (JFK-DCA-YVR-HKG), though it's a mess on the return, as discussed in another thread. Seems like JFK might be a better airport than at least BWI, and maybe IAD too, for most high-rev pax.

Any other anomalies?

Bumping a very old thread for a question:

Does CX still codeshare to MCO? I would like to fly there ex-ICN with a stopover in HKG.

Yes. They codeshare JFK-MCO.

Yes. They codeshare JFK-MCO.

Thanks for the information.
