Welcome to FlyerTalk, rdengineer. We're always happy to have newcomers. As a point of etiquette, we only post questions in one forum. We can post a link in a second forum, directing people to the initial post, if we think that's merited. I saw at two other places that you posted this question:AA and British Airways. Now, perhaps you need the information for all three airlines in question: Cathay, British Airways, and AA, but that wasn't obvious from your post.

We've got some incredibly knowledgeable people here, and are happy to help. Read the forums for the airlines you fly, be as specific as you can in your inquiries, and we'll freely share our tips and insights.
