<i>I also expect you won't find getting to PPT will be that easy</i>

I concur. Also keep in mind that IPC-PPT only operates twice a week.

Thanks, Gardyloo and Patty.

Ouch, I didn't realize that AA wouldn't hold the booking for two weeks while I fine tune all the details. Bummer. Thanks AA.

You're right HKG - LAX will we easier than HKG - YYZ, maybe I'll have to omit a flight or two if I need to take connections for some of the long haul flights.

I guess, I'd need to have a plan B, so that if I can get most of my flights, I can fill in the blanks and book what is available at one time. Oh, I feel sorry for the AA agent I get on the phone.

I'll give plan B some thought and post back after a few days.
