Of course, the other option is to route through JFK, not that location really makes much of a difference to me.
Ah, yes, the Bay area's summer morning fog is infamous, usually clear by noon - love taking friends up to Twin Peaks after late breakfast to see the city below the mist & watch it lift. Of course, you will be flying new 777's out of LAX vs. 744's prone to delays.
TWA884 has the answer for LAX midnight security so that's cool to know, we got a domestic DL with carryon only next month, late night there so let's see how it go for us.
Not sure if you've looked at JFK routing (your profile @YUL) as it will be all new 773's non-stops to PEK as of this April, adding a total of 4 midday departure weekly in addition to the daily 5PM departure after the turnaround landed. If you fly into JFK on an early AM flight, you will be on your way by 1PM and even if you missed that, the 2nd. flight at 5 PM is your backup - the catch is that despite interlining your bags all the way, you might have to re-clear TSA security and board with hand luggage out of T1, possibly involving a change of terminal via the free AirTrain depending on your inbound.
Just not sure if AC or its partner fly between your origination airport & JFK (going into LGA is not recommended)
