Don't know if spending 6 days still counts as a mileage run, but I just booked mine over Thanksgiving weekend and it should lock me for P1 in 2011-- just so I can make a run for 1k. =D
This forum is awesome. Thank you!

Considering you already lose 2 days on the way over, not really 6 days in total.

Anyways its still very much alive. In fact there is even more availability. I canceled the flight I booked a few hours ago since there are better dates/times now and rebooked. I love you United for having easy no penalty 24 hour cancellation.
Here's hoping for one of those awesome Expedia hotel coupons in the next couple of months.

Damn!!! I didn't even think about Expedia since it wasn't booking on Orbitz. Cost me $3.

Thanks, OP!!
My roommate booked non-upgradeable LAX-PVG with his aunt for $517/person in October. He, myself, and my partner booked upgradeable LAX-PVG (5 of 6 long-haul upgrades confirmed immediately) for $1,150/person in January.
Since I have to go to work in the middle of the two weeks I booked, I will have to find a first class *A award though ZRH or IST or something.
Killer deal!

The roommate is still in for the sweet $517 deal in coach. What a good nephew to sit in coach that far so he can take his elderly aunt to China! ^

At 4:30am EDT, I found $520 for 9/17-10/4 as well as 1/28-2/6 (for Chinese New Year). I got on my 6am flight thinking to book it as soon as I land. I called 1k desk 5 hours later and price had jumped back to $800 ish.
Why the sale was for less than 24 hours? Will this deal come around again, anytime soon?

Can I buy a round-trip ticket for leaving SFO in the August and back in the September?
sigh, my school begins on Sep. 20, and I need to leave in the August, so that I could stay in China for more than a month.
