For those of us traveling to Beijing from the East Coast, having EWR-ICN on UA as an option is HUGE!
I'd argue Japan - PEK - Japan is way overpriced and the schedule is not really that great. Also, flying PEK-HND on NH is horrible, as it's uncertain if it arrives at HND in T2 or T3 (can be either, but more T2 than T3), and the transit-transfer from T2 to T3 is horrible, IME.
Also, ICN-PEK is usually a lot cheaper than Tokyo-PEK for some reason.
(...and lets not even talk about all the problems with connecting via LAX or SFO.)
