UA: MSP-PVG, $662 ai rt, island hopper possible
This is not the cheapest fare from MSP-PVG right now (Alaska/Hainan has some dates at just under $600, and Delta also has matched the UA fare at around $660). But you can get the island hopper on this fare. The dates are a bit tricky -- GUM-PVG is on Sunday and Thursday, and the island hopper is MWF (with one less stop on Wed.). So to get the hopper and make the GUM-PVG connection, you can only depart on W from HNL westbound, and only depart Su or Th. eastbound.
It's also not the best for a pure MR as the cheapest fare on UA requires a 10-day min. stay, and you'll also need a visa if you don't already have it. I just booked a trip in Mar. with the island hopper in both directions for $683 rt ai -- I've been waiting for a long time to ride the hopper and this is a great price if you've got the visa and time.
