I'm not sure about UA, but AA stopped including this benefit on award bookings several years ago. But, like I said in response to your other post on this topic, if you do get a hotel voucher, you'll probably want to pass on it anyway (i.e. it won't be for the Hilton!).

Is there a way to tell what they are using on DXB PEK. Would hate to pick the wrong config. Flight leaves at 00:10

Old 744's on the PEK-JFK route are now based in SFO (since beginning of April) and it's all 773's - on-time performance has vastly improved, especially the AM inbound flight that's immediately turned around for PEK.
In the event of MX, they (should) have spare ones (or parts needed to service it) based in PEK. Their 747 All Cargo are still flying this route but otherwise - very unlikely anyone will see one of the Combi on this route.

Flightaware is still showing today's inbound #981 as 777-200's - ditto for Seatguru. With Chinese mainlander market in mind, some J/C pax probably won't mind the harder padding while others would ..... about it being too soft, LOL. With 9" personal AVOD in Y and lie-flats in C/J cabin with 12" or 15" monitor - it's easy to overlook the food ... Will not be surprised that more *A flyers will be taking another look instead of, even for other onward destination like HKG.
