It does if you want all in J or F but actually to have 2 seats on every flight is pretty good and they have such good J and F availability from the US-HKG.  I'm still planning to book this way because with Dan's new hiddush of transferring SPG to Virgin and then to Alaska, I can get from Den-TLV, with the Shabbos stopover in HKG for only 38k SPG...at that price, my kids can sit in Premium economy for the last leg! 
I would love to put kids in E+ but I have a feeling child services won't approve.

How come BA.com doesn't show the route yet?

Can I book by calling them?

No idea but it's probably good so all the Mongol horde of tourists don't start booking this route!  :P  I made a CX account to search their website.  AS could see everything on the phone but let us know if the BA reps can see it too!

Yes

All 4 seats?  In J and Premium economy?  And from the US-TLV?  Even CX own system for example, would only show Premium economy when I searched LA-TLV but had the J seat on the separate leg.  The CX site wouldn't show anything from JFK-TLV that routed through Honk Kong at all...it wanted to route through London on BA.

It seems to be showing all for Classes (I think thats what you mean by all four seats)
I search each leg separately.

Yeah that's what I meant, 2 in each class.  I guess b/c only AS will allow this routing it will always have to be searched separately.

You'll have to fly through HKG but you don't have to take the stopover.

Is it just now finally showing on BA instead of only the CX website?  I was hoping it would never go on the BA site so not everyone would figure out the crazy good deal, although BA still doesn't show how cheap it is on Alaska!  :P
