Hate to break it to you but you likely won't clear more than 1 of these if that, if all in Feb..

Can someone look up the fare to see if it's possible to connect anywhere other than DFW?

Hmmm, AA flyies its own metal to HKG via DFW. Do not think there is another connection point.

I did see, for only a little more money, return flights that are actually code shares operated by CX (HKG->NRT) and JL (NRT->JFK)....

Yes, JL flights marketed by AA are also allowed.

YYZ-JFK-NRT-HKG-DFW-YYZ can be had for CAD612

however it dose yield less miles, I guess if you want to improve your upgrade chances, thats a good way to go

Nice find!

I'm showing only departure dates on April 7-14 excluding the weekend. Anyone find other dates?

Apologies, since I know the answer to this question is available somewhere with enough searching - though I can't seem to find the answer on the Executive Club page itself.

I am BA silver - what Avios Tier Points would I earn for this fare? I can't tell if it's a lower amount because a discounted economy fare.

In any event, seems almost worth it just for ~37k Avios per trip!

Thanks in advance!

This is incorrect. Anyone can get an MCE seat, providing they're willing to pay for it. In addition to this full fare passengers and all oneworld sapphire and emerald members get it for free. Ruby members get free MCE 24 hours in advance, 50% discount before that time.

I think I answered my own question - AA Booking Code is "Q", and "Q" is discounted economy, and discounted economy earns 50% of the Avios tier points of full fare. Seems to work out to 50 tier points each way.

Add $70 and you can also fly YKF - ORD - PVG - HKG round-trip instead of YYZ. (AA + DragonAir) 16398 miles

YKF is Kitchener airport.

Sample:
https://www.google.ca/flights/#searc...7;r=2015-04-21

Also as low as $622 CAD going on AA + JAL (through ORD, NRT) 16950 miles again through YKF.

Sample:

https://www.google.ca/flights/#searc...4;r=2015-04-28

YKF gets a lot of love ever since AA lumped it into YTO (Toronto).
