Yeah, I'm still waiting for them to announce something for my China Southern flight in March.

If your travel policy includes J, I suggest you research other similarly priced options (e.g. my company is fine with 3k, but not so cool with 10k). If you fly Y, just get a seat towards the back of the plane.

No, I booked an open jaw J flight from LAX to PVG and back from PEK for 1300. I'm just curious if I can add my AA number and earn credit or even use the AA/OneWorld lounge when I do fly.

I applaud you for grabbing that fare. If AA has a code share on your flight, you should be able to get miles. Otherwise, Delta should work. You will get lounge access based on the J ticket.

Folks -- figured I'd ask here. I normally travel JFK to CAN and then home via HKG -- would be great to actually make that first flight direct rather than dealing with an extra hotel stay and an extra train from HKG->Guangzhou.
The flights appear to be loaded as codeshares AA7045 (dep. 0045) and AA7059 (dep. 1040) from JFK -> CAN on China Southern... but I cannot see any way to buy these tickets, either on Concur (corp. booking) or AA.com. Anyone have an idea as to what's going on? (as always I assume it's my error somewhere!)

I have spoken with two separate agents to book USA-China award tickets on CZ metal and both returned with taxes and fees on the order of $110, close to what DL charge. Judging from ITA Matrix, it appears that AA will charge YQ and YR. FWIW both were in economy as O class can't be seen by AA, but I would expect similar taxes and fees for future business class redemptions.
