FYI-Flight&Hotel

[restlessinsj]

Just my 2 cents, flight in early sep is going to be still around $800-$1000 depending on the airline, kids are still flying back from HK or China to go to school, I think prices starts to go down after 9/10 or 9/15. If I was flying back with spouse, definitely choose a direct flight, you don't want to lose the luggage because of a plane change(No way will I ever take NWA). I find the best place to look for cheap airfare are travel agents in Chinatown/Monterey Park in LA because of the number of flights flying out of LAX.

Hotel- Hotels in GZ in Oct is really hard to get and expensive, the autumn trade show is the main thing in GZ at that time, book early or you may end up paying more than you should, try to avoid Shanghai at all cost during Oct1-5, too many village people coming out.

 

Good Luck to All!!!

That's very true. Waiting for hours just to go through security.
