CX & QF flights to JFK
On the HKG-JFK (stop in YVR) and SYD-JFK (stop in LAX) are these counted as one flight if you check in to the final destination thereby leaving me with 1 transcon available in the NA ?
Thanks
Thanks

you will get 1 boarding pass, and the 'great circle' miles.
in fact, i once tried to book this as 2 segments and get 2 BPs (hence 1 more segment and a bit more miles). the cx agent refused to do it for me

Trying to get two segments would be the sort of thing I'd try too

Not heard of these miles - what are they ? I was planning on getting either AA or BA miles unless there's something better.

It is possible to ticket QF107 as SYD-(LAX)-JFK. You would need to book SYD-LAX for one date and then LAX-JFK for another. After booking and ticketing call and have the LAX-JFK leg moved to the same day as SYD-LAX. IMHO it is better to ticket as one leg (SYD-JFK) and then use your transcon to get back to LAX.
I am doing-:
SYD-(LAX)-JFK
JFK-SJU
SJU-SLU
SLU-SJU
SJU-JFK
JFK-LAX
LAX-LHR
Believe it or not I'm doing SLU-SJU-JFK-LAX-LHR all on the same day. I must be mad!

What you need to do there is to book one sector with the actual flight number and the other sector under the codeshare flight number - worked for me when I went MEL (BA) SIN (QF) LHR on the same metal.

At the moment my plan is to do:
HKG-(YVR)-JFK or SYD-(LAX)-JFK
JFK-DFW
DFW-MIA
MIA-JFK
JFK-YVR
YVR-DFW
DFW-LAX
LAX-LHR
GazaI leave JFK @ 7:20am and don't stop till I get to LHR !! Saves on hotel rooms and food
but sometime you just have to do it 'cause you can 
Boy will I ready for the BA J class bed

You are NOT mad just very enterprising. Incidentally, when are you doing this one day run? </font>
