Serfty, that'll be a great flight. Just hope that Augustine is not in code RED:

Be sure to get a window. Mrs og and I did the same YVR-HKG run and had fantastic views of the Aleutians at just the right time. Later on, at night, we tracked along a storm front for 2 hrs near Japan. It was the best lightening show I have ever seen. The DONEx price is worth it just for these views when they happen (especially when you can command several windows at a time).
