Now that the direct route is gone, how do others do it? I'm headed there for the 2nd time this year next week, and will probably have another 2-5 trips there this year yet. Have co-workers in the same position, all business class. Next week's trip is GRR->DTW->PVG (on CZ)-> CAN (on CZ)->HKG ->NRT -> DTW ->GRR..

Just wondering if anyone has any better routings. Corp TA won't book it on KE, and I've been told flying from SFO via CZ is highly NOT recommended.
