Thanks Guys,
Yep DFW and JFK I think are the only US/Canada OW metal options out of YVR. Neither work within 22k.
I'm resigned to HKG-VYR-surface-LAX-SYD-PER-HKG. It's still a great price so can't complain too much and thansk again to the FT Jedi's for saving me a small fortune.
I had thought WS were maybe joinign OW and I know that AA have some codeshares to YXS but I guess that is still for the future. Hopefully for the sake of YVR (and Canada in general) we see AS and WS join OW in the future?
