Hello stageworks: did you include any stopovers (or overnight transit) in the US? I would like to do a MR like yours but I think my body needs more rest during the trip. Thanks. Do you mind sharing the GF link?

Is there something I am missing, that if this was issued on BA or AY stock, the distance rather than price rule would apply?

So, I was considering combining this deal with an AY J YYZ-HKG ticket, which then made me wonder how good of a deal this actually is for those based in the US (and NYC/east coast in particular). I'm thinking about this from the perspective of someone who would make two (or more) trips to HKG from the east coast next year.
If I'm crediting to AY, no-brainer I would just book AY J tickets to HKG. Even if I were to credit to AA, the AY ticket would get me (starting next year) ~38,000 EQMs and ~4750 EQDs (25% of 19,000 miles flown) for ~$2600. This ticket would get me ~45,000 EQMs and ~1800 EQDs for ~$1900. Yes, that's a ~$700 difference (and this fare has the potential of upgrading to F), but the cost of positioning to/from CUN (as opposed to YYZ or YUL) cuts into the difference. And the EQDs here are not great. And this fare is less flexible than the AY fare in terms of stopovers and such. Am I missing something? . . . |

This is annoying... It specifically states unlimited stopovers in the fare rules, but any stopovers (in the US) ruin the price..... |

HIP rule requires you to pay higher fare but you can keep the routing. For example, if you have a stopover at LAX, you need to pay HKG-LAX fare as it is higher than HKG-CUN. But you still get LAX-CUN in business with no extra charge.;)

grr @ phantom fares on google flights. Saw $1900ish for HKG-LAX-JFK-CUN roundtrip but errors came up on payment page. Anyone have same issue? Matrix isn't showing the prices on this routing.

The fare isn't primarily meant for people like you ;)

AY A350's are also nicer on the body than a AA 77W

How are INT-INT transfers in Cancun?
Thinking... this ticket, land in CUN, fly back out on separate (positioning) ticket to the USA. Conversely... fly in from the USA to do the return on this ticket. |
