If you are seeing XC inventory, another alternative is to book one way for 60,000 miles and buy the ticket in the other direction. Fares on that route have been relatively low (I have seen business as low as $2800 RT) and you would also have the opportunity to earn United miles on the paid segment. If you do this I would highly recommend you consider booking both segments on ANA (United can do this for you), I'm sure you would enjoy their new C product and excellent food and service. Even if you don't see XC inventory, ANA may have it available- check continental.com or call United.
