The fare is also available to a bunch of Midwestern airports, like MSP, IND, CLE, PIT, CVG, STL, MKE, DSM, and a lot more regional ones.

This is actually a UA or A3 mileage run.

For A3 purposes and YYZ Signature Suite access was trying hard to get AC metal TATL both ways yesterday but was unable to.

Now that would be amazing, especially with AC being 200% for PQD.....

And I don't see any CX codes, so the answer is no.
I too was trying to find CX codes flights as I was hoping to credit to BA. Anyone found any? If so use which OTA to book?

It might be on LX ticket, but I also see some ZRH-YYZ segments on the outgoing, at 200% on AC J. I've seen some (no returns on AC J, like Unionruler mentioned) that come up to ~39,144 miles, to around 7,828 PQP..... how can I say no? Arg.....

As long as I'm not wrong, and it's metal for AC that counts, not LX ticket stock. They all seem to have (for the flights with an AC segment) a UA initial leg to ORD, but I don't care about that loss of PQP.

That's great earning on UA! For the return, can you find any without CX legs or 10+ hours layover in ZRH?

I have not. I ploan on banking the CX flight to either AA or AS, the 2 UA and 1 Swiss seg I will credit obviously to UA. This virus should be cleared up by june july and always in HK, so hoping to use a couple of these nested.

I thought there was no way to book the CX flights as CX coded...so it wouldn’t be possible to credit to AA/AS?

Not yet; so far pure LX on ORD-ZRH-HKG, but with an 11 hour layover in one of the most expensive cities

Only way I could get full *A flights was to make it an open-jaw. Flights to other airports like MCI had the last YYZ--MCI leg in Y.

Reading the increasingly negative news and also experiencing slowly escalating quarantine and arrival procedures on HKG-TYO segment, I personally am thinking twice about booking a lot of travel through HKG this year. While limited bans have been introduced for people who have visited the mainland in the past 14 days, countries could just as easily add Hong Kong to their ban lists. While I've been flying these runs, Tokyo started tracking passengers from Hong Kong flights, and manually processing them at pre-immigration quarantine. Even past that, while I was at JP trusted traveler kiosk doing my thing, staff approached me to sign yet another form stating I hadn't been to Wuhan in the past 14 days. Since I have a tight travel schedule this year, I'm going to avoid booking anything touching PEK, PVG, and HKG regardless of how lucrative the fare is. Just my thoughts.
I just returned from one of these deals on Monday. I had no issues connecting at NRT or arriving at SFO. I was given a questionnaire to complete on the HKG to NRT leg that all passengers were supposed to complete, but no one asked for it when i went through security in NRT to connect to my SFO flight. I did consider the possibility of canceled HKG legs, but went for it. I wish I would have booked a second one at that price.

You can fly both TPAC legs on AC and openjaw is not necessary

According to AS policy LX marketed shouldn't credit, but my sensing is ~80% of the time AS members here have got OAL marketed AS partner operated to credit successfully nonetheless.

If you want to book this fare, do it NOW.
This is suppose to be a restrictive P fare and they are fixing this right now.
