On LX, I have also seen those inventories, but it is showing availabilities on multiple days in the same week. We all know that each airlines only allows one flight a week, so not sure that will impact your booking.
Good luck on one the two will work out for you.
Aug. schedule has not been updated. The ticket is still showing SFO-PVG direct with old departure time. I expect it will be updated with ICN stop soon.
The rumor was Saturday for UA 857 before announcement, so I picked Aug 15 which is Saturday.
The rumor for LX ZRH-PVG flight is Friday. So I picked Aug. 6 Thursday for JFK-ZRH, connecting ZRH-PVG on Friday.
There is another rumor that LH will run Monday FRA-NKG. So I grabbed another ticket EWR-FRA-NKG.
Both LX and LH tickets are saver J awards. I can't guarantee they will not be canceled. At least I have UA 857.

What do you think the chances are you’ll get the visa as I think this is the bigger issue. Do you have someone or some company with good connections in the PRC helping you out?
I am working on this by contacting PRC Embassy in US.
It's for humanitarian reason, as my dad passed away few months ago.
I hope they will show some sympathy.
