I booked Qantas. It goes to JFK with one stop in Lax. Then I wait 5 hours for JFK-YUL in transit on AA. I will not set foot on DC-10 or MD-11's. As a matter of interest the round the world airfares on the Oneworld Cartel just increased 25% out of Asia. Would be interesting to compare Oneworld Explorer fares out of other locations.
