LAX-HKG can be very tricky, research this route very well before you go for this one. Anywho, I am always cautious about he face thing on the nonrev websites- who the hell knows how to interpret those crazy faces. Do you have zed agreements with BR and CI, they fly out to TPE directly out of a couple of west coaat gateways. Not sure how easy it is for you to make it to ORD, but as a sidenote this route is less tan a year old so it is starting up. Newish routes usually are easier to get on.
