The cheapest options were SFO as the departure point and Air China on the TPAC.
I have to admit, when I'm in coach I look for "shortest TPAC segment". I
hate that flight in coach. I almost look at the connection in San Francisco and again in Beijing as reasons in favor of this itin! (vs. JFK-PVG)
All of that said, it sounds like the OP has found a good option...a triangle trip all on one itin. ^
