It may not be worth taking the chance, and it's tough getting any awards on this route, but you should be aware that if you can get a D award on any segment of a trip and W on the others, then you will have first priority for a J seat on a standby basis at the airport. You will be charged for a D award in this case.</font>

The inability to waitlist on a *A award is really annoying. Seems like a scam to try and get business class points for economy class seats.
What AC like on transpac economy? How does it compare to UA and E+?

I think Aeroplan took this one step further. The website will TIME OUT after you put in the booking dates, so you can't book anything at all. It goes back to the starting screen so you have to type everything over again.
Also, flight availabilities vary by the second. After 2000 zillion timeouts I was able to put in 3 searches within 5 minutes apart for a J JFK-HKG trip in July. Inventories change from full availiability to some, and none at all. Jeez they are gettin more turnover than the NYSE!
