Well that's a bummer that the HKG-ICN-HKG legs won't earn me AA credits. Hmmm! Maybe I just need to start a CX account sooner than later. Looks like I'm going to be a frequent flyer to HKG and ICN in the not so distant future.

The mere idea of flying SFO-DFW-ICN (option via AA.com) just didn't make sense to me and the cost was not worth it to say the least. It's bad enough to that I'm becoming use to SFO-LAX-HKG. I always smirk when watching the flight map when we fly past SFO. Once inbound for LAX, ATC held the flight in a loop as we circled just off the coast of Monterrey. I was Secretely praying we'd be forced to land at SFO! I was over the flight at that point!
