China Travel Forum

I have recently checked back at a major online airplane ticket
carrier and the price has jumped amazingly. Just a few weeks
ago, I was able to get a round trip ticket to Beijing for $450.
Now, the lowest price I can find anywhere is $750!

I am afraid that I cannot visit China if the cheapest ticket is
$750, so I am hoping that I can be steered into the right
direction so that I can buy tickets right away. That said, I am
also wondering if I should purchase any travel packages now. My
dilemma is that I want to explore places in China that aren't a
part of the tour, and at the same time be safe and get back to
the right destinations.

I am willing to purchase tickets this week if I can still find the
$450 or around that price airplane tickets.

thank you

I'm traveling to China in May too. The cheapest ticket I can find is just under $1000. If you live in the west coast prices will be lower. I don't think you can find anything under $500 for Summer flights. The only advice I can give is don't just search major American airlines. Try checking asian airlines such as Korean Air and Asiana.
