But if you miss your connection UA/AC will find a way to get you to Shanghai. Maybe the same day, may be the next. If this is a leisure trip and if AC allows this connection, then the $100 may be worth it. But if you have a job interview or important contract to sign, then no...
It's leisure. Other than losing the time it's no big deal.
Are you sure about where AC leaves from? It's an international flight, I thought all of those left from the international terminal. UA runs a shuttle from terminal 3 to the international terminal inside security.
Having to reclear security doesn't sound too makeable.
