Cathay Pacific All Asia Pass

For my April China trip I've been researching air fares to asia and wanted to note a few interesting things.

My friend has recommended we take All Nippon Airways (Japan) due to an excellent San Francisco to Tokyo to Beijing route which appears to shave several hours off of the normal 20+ hour flight. He also thinks ANA is a great carrier.

I'm finding some of the best deals with Cathay Pacific, but they are just outside of our travel window in April. A current one appears to offer $750 flights SFO to Beijing or Shanghai, but travel must be completed by March 31st. Last year Cathay Pacific had a "Valentines" special that lasted through April and was only $674, but not sure we want to hold off that long to find out if they will run this again.
