On this note, and further to my earlier question, are there any airlines that release more than 2 J seats for TATL? I won't bother wasting time searching if I know it never happens.

8 though, that's something. Didn't expect that.

Get J for kids and you stay in Y. They will love it. Or try YYZ-ZRH-WAW, YYZ-BRU-WAW.

I want fly to ZRH.
LAX-FRA in F and FRA-ZRH in J, no problem. SFO-LAX has ample X space, but no Y.

I recall as a kid flying J (or was it F) as a kid on Austrian so I would be easier to keep track of as well. They gave me a box of chocolates, I worked on staying over weight and preventing myself from having a high-school girlfriend and everyone was happy.

im stumped.
just pieced together a great itinerary, had it confirmed and the AE phone agent told me i had $330 in YQ... My math had me in at JUST over $200.
YUL-->PEK-->BKK (STOPOVER 1) (AIR CHINA next to no YQ $73 in taxes)
BKK--> PVG (STOPVER 2) (THAI minimal YQ $27.60 in taxes)
PVG--> ICN (DESTINATION) (ASIANA minimal YQ $96.90 in taxes)
ICN-->YUL (RETURN) (AC, YQ waived out of SK $37.50 in taxes)
She quoted me at $550 total with $330 of that in YQ...
I asked if she had accidentally put me in premium economy for the return leg, but nope.
Am I missing something? Is there a hidden cost i'm not flushing out in piecing these together as 1-ways?
Thanks in advance--

Only ex-HKG or ex-Japan(?) have YQ-limited
Just test with Multi-city online, and take out stop 1 or stop 2, to estimate
or do a one-way on ICN-YUL and you'll see the crazy YQ
