Agree: Cargo+Y thick routes - AMS/SFO... it might be easaier to nick one than F/Y thick routes - LHR/JFK

In fact I've got opuped once being Silver HKG-AMS.
not putting on any hope for the coming LHR-HKG... In fact I'm trying to see if i should reroute to AMS-HKG instead. but with the extra tax cost and 1 day delay AND a far from full Y class.... forget it.
