Korean Air SFO-HKG via Seoul, South Korea $566 April 2015 dates
Skyteam has a comparable fare that features four segments on Korean Air with an overnight in Seoul, South Korea on the outbound from 6:15pm arrival to 1:40pm departure for Hong Kong the next day. I view this as a chance to visit Seoul and Hong Kong on one deeply discounted economy class ticket.
You can also route an itinerary without an overnight in Seoul for same price.
