I'm in the film industry, producing movies/sales of the movies
.. new company policy all oversea trips get business class..as my boss and I flew on econ for one of the production to save some money..ended up he couldnt deal with Econ and so enforced a new policy..so lucky me!
I'm on there as well..but go into the CX sub forms for asia (CX sub form) best way to find out how to burn and churn the miles. Lot of us YVR base folks there :P i let go of my *A and only went with OW (MPC) now even if it means i have to transit via HKG to get to any mainland city I still prefer that over the direct flight. you will soon find yourself aiming to maintain the elite status once you taste the rainbow...like constant upgrade to F class from J class using miles or getting bumped u.

I guess I will try it next time if time permits. But I'm already a *A Gold. (will be cracking the platinum on UA after making my way back this Tuesday) Is it worth it to start all over again with OW?
Granted the new UA FF program stinks. But I like the fact that I can earn full mileage+whatever bonus on all *A partner flights.
How many miles do you usually need to upgrade from J to F on CX? And how often do an elite FF gets bumped for free realistically speaking? Cause stupid *A never does that despite the numerous report I read on FT (I've never been bumped on a transpac/transatla flight on UA and AC has no F
except once UA oversold J and had to do an OP-UP when I arrive late for check-in for my trip to NRT)
