The following has nothing to do with the "usual" Oneworld around the world fare types. But the itinerary does involve multiple Oneworld carriers.

How come travelocity.ca / itn.net (Sabre based) can't seem to price the following itinerary:

YVR-JFK CX F
JFK-LHR BA F
LHR-HKG BA F
HKG-YVR CX F

However, Expedia.ca (Worldspan based?) is able to price this itinerary by combining the YVR-HKG CX fare via the Pacific Ocean (fare basis: FR), with the YVR-HKG BA fare via the Atlantic Ocean (fare basis: F).

For those familiar with fare calculation formats, that would be (R=fare in CAD):

YVR CX JFK BA(AT) LON CX HKG R4560.00 F CX(PA) YVR R9813.00 FR CAD 14373.00 (not including Q surcharges) END.
