Price varies slightly depending on the booking engine used but approximately:
LAX-YVR-ICN-TPE-HKG-YVR-LAX No Stops in YVR CA3750.00
LAX-YVR-ICN-TPE-HKG-YVR-LAX w/Stops in YVR CA5864.00
As the fare is based on mileage, the stops in ICN and HKG don't seem to have any effect on the fare. But the stops in YVR make a dramatic increase as demonstrated.</font>
BTW, AC also has an
Unrestricted Business Class fare (Fare basis: J) from LAX-MNL for about CAD 3500 RT.
Possible routing: LAX-YVR(no stops)-NRT-HKG(no stops)-MNL-HKG(no stops)-NRT-YVR(no stops)-LAX.
As this is an unrestricted fare, the NRT-HKG-MNL vv. sectors can be on CX or any other carrier you desire.
Also with a wonderful thing called "differential fare construction", you can pay the "difference" (not that much) between F and J on the NRT-HKG(stop less than 24 hours)-MNL vv. and fly CX F.
