NRT Same plane turn
I've secured a reasonable MR deal on AC (at 11.3 CAD cpm mostly reasonable because it fits within a business trip of my wife's so she won't have to contend with my absence..). I've booked AC3 YVR-NRT and AC4 NRT-YVR February 9th same plane turn. I couldn't find any info that this might not be possible at NRT. I have 24h to cancel the ticket without penalty.. Any first-hand experiences with immediate turns at NRT?

I agree that it should be straightforward. You can get your NRT-YVR BP at the airside transfer counter in NRT if you can't get it at YVR on the outbound.
The only potential hiccup I can think of is if YVR-NRT is delayed and AC decides to swap aircraft at NRT, e.g., one (delayed) aircraft flies YVR-NRT-YYZ and another does YYZ-NRT-YVR (the YYZ-NRT flight might be on time and they decide they want to prioritize an on-time arrival and onward connections in YVR over YYZ).
