Looking to go end of summer and the obvious advantage AC offers is the non-stop option. At present I an just shy of Prestige status but this flight (with the other inter-Asian routes I plan on) will make me Elite so I have no feasible way to obtain an upgrade.
Is the service amongst the *A members really that different to warrant considering a stop over option like ORD, YVR, SFO or LAX?
Looking at end of Aug flight over, and it seems like all the really cheap fares have evaporated. The M class fare I was looking at seems to offer some flexibility if plans change but does anyone know if date changes are possible if I find the need to fly back earlier or later?
