I think the 10 am is the best one for you and the family IMHO.
Yes, you are probably right (and yes, these are awards). Adding an out-of-alliance, out-of-PNR RJ segment to YYZ also introduces all sorts of risk, as well. I guess I'll settle for 2F & 2J seats on the 10a departure and pray, pray, pray that 4 of the currently-available revenue F seats open to the award bucket.
Boy, are we going to be wiped when we get to Chiang Mai, regardless. My kids refused to sleep JFKNRT last summer and I could barely get them off the NEX when we got to Tokyo, they were so tired.
OK, back to monitoring CX award inventory, which is about the only thing I manage to get done these days...
Thanks again - Jamie
