HU (Hainan): YVR-PEK J $2280USD ai
I just booked one of these fares. It has you going on WestJet to Calgary, and then catching Hainan’s non stop from there To Beijing. I’m not sure about the offerings out of Calgary in J on HU as I can’t find any info about their lounges or any trip reports.
excellent for someone to get more miles and attain status given the bonuses you get for flying a purchased Hainan J with AS MileagePlan. its a good fare, but I sure do miss the days of HU’s LAX-CSX for $1300 ai |

Because if this is out of YVR and in USD, this is not a good deal. 2000 CAD to China is a pretty average price now a days from YVR, cheapest place to get to China from. |
AA fare covers the same city pairs, is cheaper and earns more useful miles no?

Can you back that claim up with some examples? |

I'm not seeing anything under 2500 cdn in business class in the next 6 months from any canadian cities.
Can you back that claim up with some examples? You can also go from eastern Canada (e.g. YYZ) and travel all the way to SE Asia (e.g. BKK) for a little over $2K USD, and the ability to stopover in China. |
I don't do MR's, but from someone who only flies "non-stop" to Asia from Canada for the last thirty years, it's not a great fare, but not a bad one either. I've seen plenty of good reviews for Hainan over the last few years, and if I was flying to China I would most certainly give this five star airline a try.

This is a very good deal considering the mileage bonuses you get with Alaska’s MileagePlan on Hainan, which obviously you don’t know about. Also flying to china with Hainan is always a good experience. |
Currently AA has YYZ-PEK for $1976. Connecting through ORD or DFW, no Westjet economy class involved :)
Edited to add: Sorry, just saw you were talking about YVR. |

And by the way I’ve also mentioned that American Airlines flight out of Vancouver in the YYZ thread.However this fare with HU gets you a 200% bonus with Alaska airlines mileageplan. Also for the record it’s WestJet economy plus that they put you in. Which is boarding first and priority everything. I think other people who are not familiar with Alaska’s mileageplan do not understand the significance of this fare. This is a very great fare to requalify for any Alaska airlines elite levels. |
Thanks for sharing, for HU biz you might want to check your local Chinese TA as usually they have very good HU J bulk fare all year round.

thanks for that tip I had not even thought about that. I Just wonder if they will book you into the class that gets out 200% elite qualifying mileage bonus.

I fare on HU will get 100% base EQM and 100% bonus RDM, but an R (biz) fare will get you 200% EQM. I've seen it book into R on LAX-CSX (https://goo.gl/flights/RUsu, ~$2100 USD, 28K EQM on Alaska). I also saw YYZ-PEK on HU in R for $2600 on some dates.

OK then don’t use the fare.
