Interesting. But I am not sure how EK is faring their zones:

YYZ-CGK/SIN/BKK are all about CAD 6800
YYZ-HKG/PVG/ICN are all about CAD 5900

DXB-BKK is the shortest distance, DXB-ICN is the longest, and DXB-CGK does not offer F class.

Thanks.
How did you get Expedia to price AS Y + EK F?
Did you have to do multi city?

Maybe google is wrong?
I only get ~$4800 for YVR-SEA-DXB-MXP with ANAPPCA1 fare basis, which is lowest for YVR-MXP on EK

Agree. So far, without calling, I have only been able to get ~$4800 as the lowest for YVR-MXP.

Someone mentioned Expedia was able to price, if not then TA will be your best choice.

Let's just say GF and ITA are correct, but there's something odd with EK.com .
For this to work you need to book on EK.com. I was able to make it work going to MXP from YYC using multi-cities.
For around US$3,100, you get the itinerary below. I suggest using ITA first to search itineraries you want then enter into EK website.

You can try with a travel agent, but I doubt they can price this as shown on GF.

Here's an example from YYZ to MXP for ~US$2,900:

ITA won't show the cheaper price. You use it to confirm your itineraries, then go to EK website to book.

Aha! It does work from YYC. Thanks!

Can't seem to get it to work from YVR, though. The EK website seems to think YVR is the Vancouver Bus Station.
