New routes?
Take a look at this thread. Several interesting new(?) flights there for us OWE addicts. Edit: don't just read post #1, there are more flights listed a few posts after.

More like northbounds, and would that SEA/ANC-Hawaii were possible on a OWE. We ex-Alaskans used to rely on Western Airlines' triangle routes all the time. Guess it's time for another of my semi-annual letters to Santa about AS being lured into OW...

ANC-HNL is actually a very popular flight from what I've heard -- NW did this a few years ago. Apparently the residents in Alaska like to take a mid-winter break and go to Hawaii.

I had been assuming that the same reasoning applied to Mexicana and assumed that the LA flight YVR-MEX was not possible. However, a couple of months ago one of the contributers here mentioned in a private message about having it on their itinerary and I note that the MileageMonkey validator shows it. Is it allowed?

But unless I'm reading it wrong ReelChief is talking about a LA codeshare on Mexicana metal so I'm trying to get that issue clarified. The fact that there exists a JL flight, coded and operated by JL seems to me immaterial, because it's just another OW flight, right?.

Bottom line is that you cannot take the MX flights, codeshare or otherwise, but you can validly get to Mexico City from Vancouver due to the JAL flight. Though, as christep said, it's not very frequent.

Thanks for these clarifications about YVR-MEX on LA or JL. Darren is right that I was inferring that the validator's response of "valid" applied to the LA code share because I had in mind the information received in a PM from a FT contributor about the LA flights. In checking now what he/she wrote to me in early May, when I expressed doubts about the validity of YVR-MEX, the relevant part of their message stated "YVR-MEX is LAN (not ticketed as yet but MRU BA said ok)". Presumably, it did not get ticketed but if that FTer is currently out there, perhaps they can chime in.
