Thanks! Haven't done that yet, was mostly trying to get the route planned before going into looking at the precise dates - felt like the right way to go!
The getting in and out of YEG was done for a bit of both reasons you identified - a IAD and LAX overnight seemed appealing for a quick visit, as was the ability to fly the Dreamliner. That added the necessary evil of going through DEN. Also, was of course trying to avoid the AC YQ that a TYO-YVR or YEG-YYZ/YUL would add
I suppose I hadn't considered the AC YQ vs. fees given a routing like this... any advice?!
