Where to find Air China discount fares

Posted on January 27th, 2014. Written by bookingbusinesstravel.

We are increasingly asked about flights to China and specifically, Air China flights so we have researched the entire UK travel market for Air China Discount air fares and we’re surprised that nobody offers a discount below the Air China website direct price.

We were looking at London – Beijing – London, Sunday out and Friday back. British Airways quote over £2,000 because the airline requires a Saturday night stay before they’ll offer reasonable prices.

Air China does not have this restriction and offline travel agent fares were in the region of £770 return, including agent fees or markups, and credit card charges.

Expedia priced at £741 with no credit card surcharges. Several other agents offered the £730-£740 range e.g. Opodo at £737 (plus their hidden credit card fees etc)

Air China direct offered a discount fare of £711 which was, by far, the cheapest in the UK
market. Go direct to Air China here.

Note – you’ll need passport details in order to make the reservation.

PS The Air China 2 letter code is CA and the 3 letter airport code is PEK (Peking – now Beijing)

Please note. Booking Business Travel makes no commission from this advice. We simply

want you to find the best deal. If you need a hotel, why not try our comparison engine and
