Now the CX transcon flight to JFK. I was under the impression you had to be inbound from HKG and transitting only in YVR to be able to catch that - am I wrong?
Anybody can use it - it's a real staple in xONExs. With your time limitations, is suggesting MEL-LAX-ORD-YYZ-LGA//JFK-YVR-LHR out of the question? If you're laying over in LA, you could at least take the 763 to ORD rather than the 738 LAX-YYZ. Nothing terribly wrong with the 738, but it's a little tube compared to the proper F seats on the 763.
You're right - QF73 on 1 Dec SFO-YVR is wide open. Nothing in Nov.
