Squid Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 When attempting to make airplane reservations through Travelocity, this came up as the first and only result: http://www.realhorizons.com:90/files/image002.jpg Where are all the cheap flights? Flights to Beijing are > $1800 and flights to Hong Kong are hovering around $900+. All those same flights were ~$800 just a couple months ago. <rant>The airlines are making no money?</rant> Can anybody give me the "hookup?" Link to comment

kfman Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I have a flight from JFK to HK to GZ for 1090.00. I think maybe you should skip the travelocity.... but it was cute to see... Link to comment
castaway109 Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Yes and with the price of fuel climbing like it is...it will go nowhere but up. Link to comment
Kaige Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Your best bet is Fly China.com, Travel City can be a joke Link to comment
corvette Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I got Cory a great bargain from the NWA website. He will fly over GZ from Columbus, OH next Tue and fly back on May 3rd. The price is around $550. Timing is very important. We found in June the price goes up to around $1200. That's why we moved our vacation plan from June to Apr. Link to comment

hayuesen Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hey all, I agree NWA is the way to go. For flights to China, I have used a travel agent out of Hawaii...Thomas Zhuang from East West Best Travel. Great guy and awesome deals! The website is www.ewbt.com. Hope that helps. Link to comment
Larry & Meirong Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I assume you did tell them you didn't want ALL the seats on the plane right? :-) Air China has reasonable fares from west coast cities. Korean Air with it's code share partner Delta has reasonable fares also. F(orget) American and United. They are so outrageous they smell. Continental can sometimes also be reasonable. Link to comment
Guest Gene Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I assume you did tell them you didn't want ALL the seats on the plane right? :-) Good Catch Larry Squid were you planning a surprize By taking us all to Guangzhou?????? Link to comment
Squid Posted April 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Not only free fare but open bar for the trip! I did find some <$1000 roundtrip for May. Prices go up by another $400 after that. Summer must be deemed as a popular time to go to China. Touch the pig in this link and you will get an audio/visual of me looking at roundtrip costs: Click Here Link to comment
Jason+Joanna Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Try http://www.bt-store.com/ they have some good prices. However, I noted price go up about $400 around mid June. I got mine for early June, less then $1000 for a direct flight on Cathay Pacific ... actually its cheaper then my first flight last June. Link to comment

The bus costs about $20 to cross the border -- so still a good price. Link to comment
yuehan123 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I use Sun Travel Agency in LA. 818-989-8740. R/T LAX-GUZ-Nanning $890 April 20. They will also obtain the visa for a small fee. Yes, prices do rise for the "peak" summer period, the Guangzhou Trade Show, and the May Day Holiday. They often have fares I can not match on the Internet. Link to comment
