It's true that you don't have to use it but I'm with you on this one...5cpm is too rich for my blood, especially since it doesn't include the cost of the Visa...were this HKG or SIN, I might *think* about it

@BobCop - don't be so touchy @:-) I'm not against it, good find, I'm just trying to adjust my bearings, lately a lot of higher 4cpms were around. I thought that anything above 5 goes to good city pairs tread.

@PDXPremier - ^ I was thinking about visa too, good point, it's expensive, so it puts it way high.

For UA postings, it would help to know the fare class, or at least show "W+" so we know if the fare is upgrade eligible which makes a big difference for the many folks who wouldn't spend 14 hours on a UA 747 in coach for any price.

To all who are always complaining about CN visa why don't you just spend the $190 and be over with it for a year. Tons of good opportunities missed…..

Would it be possible to book this flight, and just show up in SFO, skipping the SEA flight?

No, you cannot skip the first segment. Otherwise, all the remaining segments will be cancelled.
