Seeking cheap airfare from NASHVILLE-LAX-GUZ-NANNING

[clayton2103]

Hello to all...once again.

 

Sorry to be away (occasional lurking only) for some time, but I am in need of help finding cheaper airfare to Nanning from LAX as my searches have produced only shocking results.

I have exhausted some of the links provided in the pinned post above and have found for the two of us to travel from Nashville via LAX to GUZ to Nanning is costing about $3g's. A bit more than I am seeking to spend.

If we don't find cheaper fare, we will need to postpone our travels for a while.

We wish to travel the first week of Sept. and return in two weeks.

 

I know that many of you track pricing to Nanning and hoping you all know something that I may be missing.

 

Here are the flights from LAX-GUZ-NNG that I need help with pricing:

 

China Southern CZ328 LAX-GUZ Depart LAX on Sept. 4

China Southern CZ3331 GUZ-NNG Depart NNG on Sept. 18

 

Thanks,

Clayton & Wen-Li

My flight from Dayton, Ohio to Shanghai cost is $724. If I get a China domestic flight from Shanghai to Nanning R/T is $300 total cost $1024 Bucks. Going a direct flight to Nanning from the US is $1389.

You may wish to check this out. Do not fly through Guangzhou or Hong Kong if you can avoid it. They are more costly for the same hill of beans.

CZ is having a 199 sale - but you have to call them directly - the LAX to GUZ leg has been much reduced for the promotion (199 each way, per person) see www.flychinasouthern.com for the contact info and fare restrictions guidelines.

 

if you want to fly AA, they can get you to Shanghai -

Tony and Sebastian..thank you both.

Thanks for the tip of not flying into guz. I will check into that in my free time tomorrow. I have flown into Beijing a number of times, but a year and a half ago, guz saved me money and time.

I will also place a call direct to CZ. This could make my flight affordable.

I'll let you know what I learn and decide.

I got rates for tuesdays at 199, total with tax, rt, was 564 for 1 pax, rt, lax-guz. the 45 days is important, la...

Frank - alas - 'Premium Economy' class is not available for the x99 promotion. So far, the only way I've been able to book anything in Premium Economy is to call CZ at LAX directly - my new friend there is Cindy Wang.
