Can I ask what the OW lounges (AA/CX/BA) are like in YVR, and what time they open in the morning?</font>
You are out of luck as far as lounges go on the transborder concourse unless you can bum an MLL pass off an Air Canada flyer.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">can you fly HKG-YVR on 838/839 if operating or on the YYZ flight and then switch to 888/889? That's worth an extra 800 basic miles. </font>
AFAIK, there is only one daily HKG-YVR flight nowadays. It continues to YYZ as 828/829 on Mon, Tue, Thu and Sat and continues to JFK as 888/889 on Wed, Fri and Sun.
