I purchased my DCIRC29SA in HKG for use in several months time. I was not relying on using the first sector to get away from HKG immediately after the purchase.
Ah, I see. But in your previous post, since you were replying to someone from Florida, I got the impression you were recommending they set it up for ticketing ex-HKG for purchase in HKG and then purchase it after they arrive in HKG on their positioning flight.
A weekend run to Toronto or Montreal to purchase a xCIRnn ex-HKG ticket would be much easier for someone from the US east coast, than a weekend run to HKG.
Of course none of us answered Jerry_Maguire's question, probably because none of us used a HKG or Canadian travel agent. Hopefully someone will come along who can address his question. FWIW, I enjoyed my overnight visit to Toronto.
