So my question, is Shanghai worth it?
Yes.

UA has E+ (Economy Plus - same seat but about 34-36 inch pitch v. 32 or so in coach. And you can buy E+, including my favorite exit row seats.
UA has a Buy Up to Biz for ANY fare, and it's $600 plus 20K miles each way (you can easily buy UA miles for @ 2.2 cpm), and I've done that when I was feeling rich. It's a nice ride on 747 upper deck with lie flat bed
)
Old CO (now UA) has EWR-PVG or EWR-NRT-PVG on a fairly new 777 if you don't want to fly via West Coast.
