@huja: Yes, we know about the problems with landing in SF or LA, that's why I am looking for a connecting flight outside of the US. I guess we need to take United again :-(

If you want the nicest airline for the best price. Go for Emirates or Qatar, they have good prices to Houston but not Star Alliance and a few hours longer travel time. Otherwise, your best bet is United...
staralliance.com has a search engine which will show which carriers fly and the flight times
if you want to get star alliance gold status then look at joining aegean airlines program as it gives Gold status after 20,000miles for 3 years...
KLM via Amsterdam,make a stopover in Amsterdam and book a room at the hotel which is a stone throw away from Amsterdam airport, 5 minutes walking distance.
If I remember correctly the flight to Houston leaves in the morning, so it is a perfect night's stopover
My friend has flown delta and united to the US a few times over the past few years. He has a catelogue of horror stories. I believe that there is only one United flight per day, the risk being that if it has problems (as it did last time my friend flew) then you lose 24 hours while they replace the plane....
Star Alliance is tough if you live in HK. Bite the bullet and move to One World or something else that is actually based in (or near) HK!
You mean like this one :
