Earn and redeem AAdvantage® 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???

YVR-JFK earns miles just like any other CX, flight.
