Also available with YVR as final destination, just in case someone from the West Coast might feel a bit funny about skipping a final leg or two. Short award flight back home. Prices out to $336.
Is there a way to get an extra day in HKG? Haven't checked the fare rules yet. Thanks-

Found another $423 ai from DCA/IAD. Can return through IAD and throw away the IAD-YUL segment.
Sample dates: Nov 28-Dec 5th. $342 if outbound is from BWI.

Looks like it is. Was just about to book and now it's ~$900 instead of $300. That's what I get for waiting to see if a friend wanted to come along.

Unless they really screw up, there is no chance of getting credit for segments cancelled at the end of your itin. Once offloaded from the flight, you're dead to them.
Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks-

For anyone that booked this, I was playing around on UA website to change the flight, apparently. After i change my return to reduce a stop, my outbound flight for CX got dropped from UA website and I end up with SFO-HKG/PVG-SFO-YYZ YMMV for anyone want to spend more time in HK.

Was able to still find one that worked out of SFO during Tgiving late last night (11pm pacific) without the middle HKG - pvg leg (will need to connect another way). On air canada for about $450 (Unfort. L fare class). It showed up on the chase travel portal so was able to book with 30k chase points! Would much rather use 30k pts vs $350 cash

Fare was re-filed to stop the HKG connection:
The fare is still valid, but I suspect the old prices were a glitch (FD) of some sort, as it should not get nearly that low under normal rules. "Normal" pricing is $6xx on CHI/SHA or YTO/SHA, your pick.
Code:
AND
IF THE FARE COMPONENT INCLUDES TRAVEL BETWEEN HONG KONG,
SAR, CHINA AND BJS/SHA
THEN THAT TRAVEL MUST NOT BE ON
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
ANY KA FLIGHT
ANY CX FLIGHT
ANY HX FLIGHT.
