Eva Air on 014 stock
 

Quick question :

Is it possible to travel YYZ - BKK via TPE on 014 stock?

Thx

That sounds like a fare construction question, but the simple answer is yes.

You can definitely book it through Aeroplan in X/I class.

Not Aeroplan -paid J
Want the AQD

I doubt it very much.

Depends on the fare rules of each fare basis.

But in general, it seems AC and BR don't have many agreements. You'll have better luck with CX through HKG and get J all the way if you're lucky with inventory, but this is where reward tickets are nice. Beyond YQ, reward tickets aren't carrier biased.

According to the telephone agents at AC and AP, in order to receive credit for AQD you must be on AC metal with 014 ticket stock.

Wrong. Star alliance on 014 is enough.

Why do you ask these folks instead of doing your homework? That they often make up whatever answer seems easiest is well known.

You cannot do a 100% EVA Air on 014

I've tried a few times but no luck. I have even tried an open jaw and that didn't price properly either

If it really matters (for the AQD I suppose) perhaps start your journey somewhere other than (presumably) YYZ using AC to connect on the first and last leg. YXU comes to mind. Probably same price (almost) but would obviously involve a bit of driving on your part.

I was unable to do that when I tried, starting at YYC. Ended up with an EVA-issued ticket. BTW the EVA website would not issue such a ticket and they don't issue over the phone. Only way was through a TA.

This thread has me wondering...

What if I'm flying SFO-ORD-YYZ (all UA) -LHR-YYZ-SFO (AC), booked on 014, and due to IRROPS, I get rebooked on the same route, same operating airlines, different flights/numbers, but rebooked onto 016 since United is the one who caused the issue.

Would it be the "original" ticket number that matters, or the flown ticket number?

Flown.

Similar to any IRROPS, the rebooked ticket would end up being used to calculate AQM, so likely you'd have to write in for manual intervention as the old coupons would be exchanged.

If this issue hasn't been solved for IRROPS, it probably hasn't for AQD.

Not always bad though. If you get rebooked by another airline on a flight operated by AC, you might end up with significantly more AQDs.
