  1. thanks for the update. Less than $2.5k business ticket from Chinese carriers are not uncommon, but they almost always originate in China. Originating in US that’s quite sweet.

  2. Hells Bells…..I already booked that time frame….and Beijing is on my bucket list….crap…..this is what happens when you book yourself a year or two in advance. Sigh……
