Holy moly, that doesn't sound like a fun trip. When was the last time you did a long haul in coach?

Looking forward to the rest!

Good question about the Y

Hmm, outside of anything under 4 hours and not considered Economy.
I only have this looking back the last couple of years and this is what I dug up.

Finally - Jul/Aug 2009 - YVR - HKG - YVR on CX

Simply the answer of SHF flying Long Haul Economy is "It is a Really Rare Event", and usually have a specific purpose as to why I would do it.
The ones I listed above, Oopsy Fare, 2x AA 20K off-peak reward, and EXP Qualification.
Basically I reiterate what I've said when someone else on my last TR ask me, I would do Long Haul Y, but it better made some serious sense before I would do it. @:-)
