Best odds on U/G: YVR-NRT or YVR-HKG?
Looking at a flight near the end of February, YYC-SIN. The two routings I'm looking at are:
As a newly minted E, I was hoping to use my first e-upgrades on the TPAC portion of the flight.
Which routing would give me the best shot at getting it?
Best regards,

- YYC-YVR-NRT-SIN
- YYC-YVR-HKG-SIN

Japan, just because the flight is shorter and similar in time to ICN, PVG, PEK etc
HKG is the longest so more people looking to max out the J experience.
My non scientific opinion.

IME YVR to NRT/HKG has been a mixed experience...... really depends on the day you are travelling. I have seen YVR-NRT full in J before and have managed to secure YVR-HKG for 2 people (me - Elite and Mrs GHT with no status) both ways.
Unlike YYZ...... where HKG is almost impossible to upgrade and NRT is way easier....
Good luck
