I suppose. Its an award redemption and I'm originating from YYC. The connections onwards from HKG to DXB were limited so that's why I think the AS agent allowed me to book this routing.

CX888 is HKG - YVR - JFK. If your journey starts at YVR, you clear you US immigration together with ex-HKG pax at JFK.
Are you taking CX888 (YVR - JFK), with a layover in New York, then CX 845/841/831 to HKG?
Yes sorry - it is CX888. I am originating in YYC, but catching an aeroplan reward on AC to get me from YYC to YVR, so I guess that is irrelevant to your question.Actual CX ticket is:
YVR - JFK (CX888 - J)
JFK - HKG (CX841 - F)
HKG - DXB (CX 745 - J)
Ok so that is good to know. I had no idea. Guess I don't have to show up 5 hrs prior to my flight in YVR then thankfully.. I have missed way to many flights in secondary in pre-clearance to count. Hopefully being a J/F passenger allows me to get out of the plane asap at JFK and make my way past US immigration. That is interesting though.. having to do US immigration when I'll only be transiting for a few hours...
I guess the good news is I'll be able to use the CX First & Business lounge in YVR then
