Is anyone finding any of these fares in Oct-Nov on AA? I'm seeing some in the $400s in Feb-Mar, but only mid/high $600s for the remainder of 2017 out of LAX or SFO.

Warning for those who saw AC in the title and thought this would be good for Star Alliance - that's YVR to HKG on the 777HD. Operative term here being "HD" or "High-Density."
In other words - don't.

I'm certainly not a fan of the AC 777HD, but most airlines now have a 3-4-3 config on the 777.

This fare is available on ANA (via NRT) and UA (via SFO) as well for ~$447.

I made this mistake once and never again. Felt like I was crushed for the entire flight. Also makes the whole thing really bad because everyone is squeezed in tight so tempers flare due to uncomfortable seats - for a long haul flight too. Felt like an eternity. I rather fly an ULCC like Norwegian.

The AC HD layout has only 28 J seats, whereas UA/AA each have 60 (including 8 F for AA). That's a huge difference in floorspace. Take a peek at the seatguru maps for the planes in question and look where the economy seating starts relative to the wing...the AC HD has about 9 rows of economy seating and 3 of premium econ forward of the first econ-plus row on UA. Those 12 rows have 114 seats. Indeed, seatguru suggests the Y cabin pitch is the same on both aircraft (31") and they're both ten across. The situation on AA is similar; economy starts even further back (due to the F cabin) and pitch is similar in Y (31-32", because consistency isn't AA's bailiwick).
Bottom line, they pack more people on the HD because they sacrificed premium seating (and lavs vs. AA), not because they made the Y seats smaller. The lavs are a drag I suppose, but unless you're angling for an upgrade I don't see a reason to say "just don't" if you're OK flying similar distances in Y on AA or UA.
