mercator Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) They are selling them as one ways (which is GREAT if your SO is incoming), but some of these rates are pretty good. My ticket would be 847 round trip, which competes very well with some of the travel sites posted on CFL before, and this is direct from the airline ( = e-tickets!!!) Here are some they posted (remember its EACH WAY): Atlanta - Beijing $365San Francisco - Shanghai $375New York City - Guangzhou $375Minneapolis/St. Paul - Guangzhou $403Minneapolis/St. Paul - Shanghai $455 Link 750 RT from NYC to GZ seems like it is a pretty great fare, and one LONGGGGGG flight!

Guest ShaQuaNew Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 There are some great fares showing up right now. I am leaving next week for Hong Kong and thought I'd got a great fare through Continental from Orlando for $893.00, after taxes and fees. I later saw a post from ThomasPromise about Paciasia.com and checked with them. They had the same airline, same time, etc. for $710.00, including taxes and fees. Unfortunately I was too late the change.... http://www.paciasia.com/ Link to comment
artmill4 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I would like to just throw this into the mix. I could not go back to China when Ling got her visa so I was looking for prices of flights for her to come to here. Buying a round trip ticket here was cheaper than 1 way being bought from China. I thought…..I will just send her the ticket. United said I could not do that. Price fixing or some phrase like that was used as a way to explain. I ended up buying in China for $775. 1 way.

But Sherman may get fuzzy when you cross international borders? United's parent company is an american company though... Link to comment
mercator Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 uschinatrip.com still seems to be the better deal for me. 896 (with tax) versus 814 on uschinatrip.com This site was vouched for by donahso as I recall. Anyone else have good luck with them? $80 is $80 (or 650RMB), and I'll save that much when I can, so long as they are reliable. Link to comment
mercator Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 NWA.com offers me a fare of 896 total costuschinatrip.com offers me a fare of 814 total cost sorry for the confusion Can you post up a link to those 20 questions to determine whether we should AOS in the states, or go back to GUZ for the CR-1?

Guest ShaQuaNew Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks for clarification Merc, Hopefully will be shopping soon for wife to go to Step daughters P-4/interview. Posted link on my PRIOR thread about the AOS vs Re-interview situation. Richard184185[/snapback]I just booked my flight with continental, who at that time was the cheapest. Later, another member posted a link to http://www.paciasia.com/. I checked the fare with them and it was $200 cheaper for the same flight and itinerary I had booked through continental.com. I spoke with these people on the phone and verified that they are real, with true fares. I could not cancel my flight and rebook with them however without penalty. I am now paying, $893 from Orlando to Hong Kong. If I'd used http://www.paciasia.com/ it would have been $710. Link to comment
mercator Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) pacasia was the highest of the three for me. They wanted about 1083 with taxes. I guess that's why we compare! Edited January 19, 2006 by mercator (see edit history) Link to comment

tonymasiello Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 750 RT from NYC to GZ seems like it is a pretty great fare, and one LONGGGGGG flight!183902[/snapback]I don't believe NWA has any direct flights from North America to China. NYC to GZ would be at least three flights on NWA with a stop in either Detroit/Minneapolis and a stop in Tokyo. Link to comment

A short hop to Portland, OR, then a hop to Tokyo, and then GZ. About 18-20 hours total, depending on which way I am going. Link to comment
