Trying to get from PER to YVR. We used to go PER-SYD-HON-YVR until The Canadian Thing happened.
Now I tend to go PER-SYD/MEB-LAX-YVR as I'm told there is no oneworld HON-YVR leg. Yet a cohort was in HON recently (enroute SJC-SYD?) and heard an AA call for HON-YVR.
Is this a normal flight? If so, how come I'm getting told it doesn;t exist??

thoglette,
First, by HON I assume you mean HNL and not HON - Huron, Michigan.
Last year and through this winter QF4 operated from YVR-(HNL)-SYD with a change of planes in HNL(I believe SYD-YVR was QF5). The service was on two 767's with the one from YVR returning to YVR after dropping off passengers in HNL and the SYD one returning to SYD. The prices for HNL-YVR were quite good considering the competition on this route with Canada 3000. Now it appears that AC is operating the YVR-HNL portions of the YVR-(HNL)-SYD route. That may be what your friend heard. When I flew this route last winter there was no AA codeshare.
