Thanks for your advice. We would like to go Business class and it has been suggested that we should fly out of Seattle instead of Vancouver to take advantage of the strong CAN$. Initially flying from Toronto, we could quite easily go through Seattle. However, we would prefer to avoid the US for convenience sake.

Would it be possible to buy the Circle Pacific exiting Seattle, booking the AC flight from Seattle to Tokyo through Vancouver and just skipping the Seattle to Vancouver leg and checking it in Van? Probably not but worth my asking...

Thanks,

Jeff
