## How much is Business Class to China?

Business Class flights to China run $3,200-$5,200 round-trip through contracted consolidator fares, 30-60% under the airline's published price for the same lie-flat seat. Shanghai and Beijing are the two long-haul gateways, with US-carrier and Chinese-carrier non-stops rebuilding and Seoul/Tokyo one-stops filling the gaps - often at lower contracted fares than the non-stops.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it cheaper to fly Business Class into Shanghai or Beijing?

Shanghai, usually: more non-stop frequency (United, Delta, China Eastern) keeps PVG contracted fares $300-600 below Beijing on comparable dates. If your trip covers both cities, fly into Shanghai and take the high-speed rail or a domestic hop to Beijing - it is faster than most flight connections and the combined cost usually beats an open-jaw.
