    I worry that I will get an agent that doesn't understand the policy, or will claim that it does not apply to nonrevenue travel. I will have a confirmed ticket about 4 hours after LAX-PVG arrives on a different airline.
    Thanks for any insight or experiences.
    Yes, I did this in 2013, not long after the policy began.
    We went DAY-DTW-PEK-ICN-DTW-DAY.
    I was concerned as well, and actually, the agent in DAY did not want to let us board. In DTW, the agent was aware of the policy, but they called United to make sure we had a revenue ticket to ICN (We used miles for Air China).
    It all went smoothly after that.
    I think the policy has been in effect long enough that you should not encounter any problems.
    I second PEK. The Great Wall was amazing, and simple to get to.
