Earn and redeem AAdvantageŽ miles for travel on Cathay Pacific within Asia and between Asia and:- Africa
- Canada
- Europe
- Middle East
- South Pacific
- U.S
That looks like flights between New York and Vancouver, which can be flown not in conjunction with a Hong Kong ticket, does not earn AAdvantage miles. Correct???
Flew JFK-YVR-HKG. Got credit as if this was direct JFK-HKG flight (no extra miles for flying to YVR). Plane was mostly empty on JFK-YVR segment.
