it's odd; looks like we have to book through ANA b/c UA isn't selling the return flight PEK-HND-ORD.
UA's joint venture with ANA does not cover China, that's why.
either way, ticket only sold by ANA. what is the fare class for the ANA flight versus the (codeshare) United flight
I bet that the ANA flight (more expensive) is in G/E, and United flight is in N (or R, dont remember how codeshares show up)

when leaving from ORD, you get United Club lounge access only when flying on ANA Premium Economy.
ANA counter only opens 3 hour before flight (unlike United, where you could check in 4 hours earlier, sometimes earlier YMMV)
