RobertBfrom aust:
We are spoiled here on the East coast we have all the Chinese airlines to choose from plus Air New Zealand , Qantas and prices are very competitive .
My stepdaughter found another new one Sichuan Airlines , They have about 3 plus flights into Melbourne , but I guess a lot of my wife's employees think nothing of taking a week or 2 off and flying back to their Chinese address for a relatives birthday , or girlfriends wedding .
Last trip was around $980 Melbourne to Shenyang 1 Stop in Shanghai , but that was an unscheduled trip sorting out her mums and sisters passports and visa applications .
We can get as low as 720 at certain times .regards Sujuan and Robert .

Robert stop man your making me jealous. I haven't seen those kind of prices in about 9 years. Last time I flew solo from the states. It was 1,000.00 U.S.I had 3 plane changes. And some lost bags

I have used Cathay Pacific every time.  I have also booked through Expedia but I think this next trip I will book directly through the Cathay Pacific site.  The cost is the same, maybe even less than Expedia, and the choices are clearer and better.

I have no complaints....  well, every time I go from Guanzhou to Hong Kong our flight on Dragonair is somehow delayed and we wind up running through the Honk Kong airport ( which is HUGE!!! ) just to make the connecting flight.

My advice to anyone flying - forget the carry on.  It is not worth it.  Put everything that you can into baggage.  The only thing I carry on is my laptop.

By the way, Cathay Pacific has great food, great entertainment, and Robert, the stewardesses are gorgeous... not that I notice.... ;D

for the 'eh of it,
I fly tomorrow, the 14th, Seattle- Beijing on Hainan Air. Hainan Air, my favorite travel to China.

The big PLUS, Hainan's planes are 'mostly' new, and given Hainan Air is a rated '5Star' airline,
flights to China are comfortable for the long flight. I do not get jetlag... perhaps given the
creature comforts of the new 787's from Boeing & A330's from Airbus.
The thing is, most viewers think China visit will break the bank. Far from it, air tickets are
cheap. I just checked on the Hainan Air website for reference. Ticket prices, Seattle - Beijing
are as low as $478, direct flight select days in Oct., round trip! They have been aggressively
expanding their services worldwide. Hainan Air has some great bargains now.
See https://www.hainanairlines.com/US/US/Home for travel from the States.



in addition to my favorite airline, I thought I would add a little more substance to China travel
other than the means of getting there and back home intact physically & mentally.

Check out TripAdvisor for your visit.. hotels, restaurants, 'what- to- do'. All good information
as it lets you wander about the China turf. If the hotel of your interests presents it's own pricing,
certainly LOOK! There are added benefits to the hotel stay. You just have to root around and get
to the very 'end' cost, in China RMB, for your creature comforts in comparison within the pricing
structure of, lets say, Priceline, Hotels.com, C-Trip, & etc. 

U.S.- China tourist visas are now 10 years long! If you check things out, start to finish,
a China visit & stay costs a shitload less money than anything/ anywhere travel the U.S.

&, I will add since I am long time Boeing employed, now retired, stay away from the American
flagged airlines for international travel. Lousy service, lousy everything there. Usually the planes
are older, not as well the 'routine' maintenance as they should be.
Basically boring..  for a long flight, it is taxing your body & sanity.

Just my take this moment in time. Happy as happy can be.
