A couple of flaky changes in the award tables:
US-Asia1 60k and US-Asia2 70K (business)
Canada-Asia1 65k and Canada-Asia2 72.5k (business)

Current tables have 50k (asia1) and 55k (asia2) regardless of whether you start in US or Canada. For YVR-HKG, this is kind of silly. It's less flying than LAX-HKG or SFO-HKG. Odd that it's a premium in the new tables, they must be assuming a Canada-US-Asia routing and thinking that is more costly....
