I have the "no One World metal" gap problem on a DCIR22 I have ticketed through CX KUL office for later this year. I have identified some options along with their shortcomings but could do with some opinions. I'm considering (not in order of perceived merit):

1) Contacting CX to purchase a discount economy fare on QF3753 SFO-YVR to connect from my existing QF73.
2) Phoning QF in Australia to do as 1). Should be possible if I advise the e-ticket number.
3) Buy a deeply discounted fare on AS. I assume no protection in event of misconnect in this case but fuel fines would be less than 1) or 2).
4) Buy a full Y or even F on AS to get flexibility in case of misconnect from QF73.

What do you folks think?
