CA : SFO -> PEK - $1,500 USD in J roundtrip; $1000 USD in PY roundtrip
Spotted on flights:
https://www.google.com/flights?lite=...4*2.GBP.113624
Decent availability in 2019. Can't comment on CA hard/soft product or J lounge in PEK although I hear the PL you'll get access to in SFO is pretty nice
.
CA's also got a ton of PY fares at the $1,000 USD mark (unsure if that's a decent deal for them and can't comment on the quality of CA PY, if it can even be called that):

Be careful if you think about travelling to China during the lunar new year. It's awesome if you want to visit major cities like PEK, PVG and CAN because most of migrants would go back to their hometowns and streets would be much less crowded. But if you want to travel around the country, the transportation would be hectic.

Also available LAX > PEK for the same price. Or you can even save $100 if connecting through SHE on CZ.

Could we get confirmation (ideally from a CA regular) about whether UA J facilities are available to the J flyer on CA. Namely, would you get access to the PL on departure at SFO/LAX and the UC arrivals lounge in SFO supposing your flight encounters no delays?

Appears to have a minimum stay of 7 days. Not sure I wanna hang around PEK for one week in the middle of winter.

for 7 day stay, it is of very limited use unless you know someone to spend time with in PEK/PVG, because all the train tickets are sold out domestically and they do not joke around when it comes to the biggest annual human migration of this world. However, the festive feel can be felt everywhere if you spend some time with a local!

Erm? This is CA (Air China) which is StarAlliance. Can credit to AC, UA, NZ, SQ, any number of others (fare bucket notwithstanding).
