Plan and buy earlier. March is the perfect time to grab your best deal for summer trip. Usually, the earlier you plan, the better deal you will get. The low fare seats will be sold out quickly.
Travel earlier. Traveling before May 17, you may enjoy better fares. Staying within 30 days or within 60 days may have better fare than a 3-month stay.
Travel on weekdays. Most airlines charges extra for traveling on weekends. So you save up to $100 for traveling on Monday through Thursday. Since some flights do not operate everyday, you might want to check flight schedules before selecting your travel date.
Avoid change. Plan well and try to avoid changing the travel dates. Most low fares are non-refundable, so read change penalty carefully before buying your tickets. When making a change, you will pay not only the change penalty, but also the fare difference which can be very high if low fares are sold out.
Flying to Shanghai is cheaper than flying to Beijing due to promotions for the new routes to Shanghai.
Be flexible. A few days of flexibility on your travel date can bring you huge savings. When booking, check Flexible Date, and tell our agent your flexible dates, and alternative cities in the Special Needs section when submitting your booking request. On fare search result page, you can see the lower fare others found about 15 days around your travel date.

New Non-Stop Flights: Newark – Shanghai, Detroit – Shanghai
Continental Airlines will start to fly Cleveland-Newark-Shanghai on
March 25, 2009. This is the first daily non-stop from New York area
to Shanghai.
Northwest Airlines will begin its non-stop Detroit-Shanghai service
On June 1, 2009. Northwest Airlines is now a part of the newly merged
Delta Air Lines. However, the full integration of the two identities
will take one or two years to complete. Delta Air Lines launched its
non-stop Atlanta-Shanghai flights in March 2008. It is the only
non-stop flight between Southeastern US and China.
View Flight Schedule to Shanghai
Hainan Airlines started its Seattle-Beijing service last summer
before Beijing Olympics. It is the only non-stop
service between Northwestern US and China. Hainan Airlines is the 4th Chinese
airline to fly between China and USA, after Air China, China Eastern and China Southern.

Some other flight changes impacted by the weak market demand:
- Northwest Airlines no longer flies to Guangzhou.
- United Airlines did not fly San Francisco-Guangzhou as proposed.
- American Airlines postponed the launch of its Chicago-Beijing route.
- US Airways postponed its Charlotte-Philadelphia-Beijing service.

| Fare Note |
|
FlyChina is a travel agency bringing you the best fares we can find on all airlines. Airlines decide the actual airfares and the change penalty, rules and restrictions associated with each fare. We cannot determine the timing of the airlines promotions, or the up-and-down of the fare. Therefore, we cannot set or guarantee the fares despite our best efforts to bring you the best fares as accurate and updated as we can. Within the fares and rules given by the airlines, we do our very best to help you to save your money and your time.
