AC will ticket or am I misreading?
Multicity to the US from the US looks like it works for me currently but I know I can't do a strictly US to US via Canada normally on AC. I want to do SFO-YVR with a considerable layover and then YVR-YYZ-DCA. I'd obviously have to clear customs and baggage claim and then check back in to go to DCA. Will AC ticket this? It's actually cheaper than my options with United because of the exchange rate and I can use my soon to expire eUpgrades.
AC563 SFO to YVR 0900-1125 and then the red eye at 2225 on AC126, arriving 0555 at YYZ and AC8780 at 0715 from YYZ to DCA.
The question too is whether the domestic lounge at YVR is one I can use a voucher for or not.
There's also AC565 that would put me at YVR at 1425, for a shorter layover.
Is it all too risky given how things are?
