What's the best CPT-LAX, preferable on either QR J 787, A350 or EY F? If QR J isn't available, what's the cheapest J or F from CPT-LAX?

Don't forget you could pay cash like $3k with EK F  direct from ek.com  also QR J Cash is like $1600ish.

Duh. I assumed miles was understood unless it was a super cheap flight. While $3k might be cheap by comparison, it's not the same as a cheap flight.

NYC-SJC ? I do not have any UA miles available, so that is not an option.

ITA isn't reliable.

I read in articles that where your computer is located changes the price of the itinerary. I didn't understand the meaning of this until i got a VPN.  Can i alter the price of my ticket by altering the IP address to another country? (Is this a thing that needs a thread:)

If I'm flying out of CNX, and my destination is NYC. Besides for flying CX, via HKG, are there any other route options, that I'll only have to fly 2 flights ?
