So now there will be one flight a day from ORD and one a day from SFO to HKG from the U.S. and that's it. Great.
CX just announced a fourth daily flight between LAX to HKG.
UA seems to be counting on the fact that there will be some passengers who will fly UA no matter what. Glad I am not one of them.

I was looking for flights from NRT to HKG at the end of this month on United's site and they don't show the direct NH option anymore? The only routing shown was either via Guam or Ho Chi Minh. Before UA discontinued this route, the website showed the NH option as well. Does that flight no longer have a code share? Being based in SEA, they still show the NH direct option to NRT with NH's dreamliner.

The codeshare still exists, and it seems that it's still bookable, but only as a connection to another segment, i.e. SEA-NRT-HKG with NRT as a layover and not as a stopover. Me thinks it has something to do with the codeshare agreement such that UA can't market it on its own...

NH 911/912 are not even necessarily sold as UA codeshares. My family member's recent trip LAX-NRT-HKG-NRT-LAX had NH flight numbers 911/912 on all documents. It's only when I needed to look for flight info on UA's website or toll free number that I needed to find the UA flight numbers.

i.e.
LHR-DXB has a BA flight number and an AA flight number.
Selling YTO AA X/LON AA DXB AA X/LON AA YTO priced out differently than YTO AA X/LON BA DXB BA X/LON AA YTO (the difference was YQ assesment by BA on LHR-DXB-LHR, despite being identical in fare basis and flights.)

I flew this route back in Sept 2013 and to be honest I don't know who would pay for this product (although the flight was mostly full) given so many better choices out there. Maybe tour groups? it was worse than flying some of the low cost Asian airlines. I honestly thought flying tiger to SIN from HKG was a better experience than flying UA on this particular route

I predict you will come back and want to edit your post once you do so.

So, like I said, please enjoy the tired angle-flat product on AA to Asia. It doesn't hold a candle to UA's product, much less CX's product.
Oh yeah, and that DFW-HKG route? Still pending government approval (clearly stated on www.aa.com/fly777).
