$250 return from JFK-YVR
CX is offering a roundtrip fare from JFK of around $250 but this cannot be booked on their website. Booking class is H so you do get miles if you're crediting it under AAdvantage.

Are you sure it's K class? All fares from USA are in H class in order to let AAdvantage members earn miles. If you bought a ticket in K class from JFK - HKG, you can't earn miles on AAdvantage.</font>

Its definitely K class, my ticket arrived today by 2-day Fedex from CX.
I'm giving up on AC/Star Alliance and I'm switching back to CX/OneWorld. I was a big fan of CP/CX when CP existed. AC blows big time. $450 for JFK-YVR.

I just bought the ticket too. Found out that it doesn't have the 30 day validity as does most CX fares on other websites. Funny that it's booked through ITN's site.
Anyway, I just did an upgrade to Business Class - using ASIAMILES of course.

Just booked this trip JFK-YVR in H class, going Aug. 27, returning Sept. 2, through CX reservations on the phone and the total was $277 inclusive. Cathay Pacific's USA site gives you K class for $274, which is an excluded class for AA miles, but pretty much all external sites (including AA's site) give you the H fare for this flight, strange... $3 extra to get the miles is most certainly worth it.

I had the same problem a while back when I booked a ticket through the CX website. It was booked under K class from LAX to HKG. When I realized that, I called the CX web support and they stated that it was a problem with their system. I got my money back, booked an H class ticket through travel agent, and later received 5,000 miles online booking bonus through CX! Gotta love em!
