Booming Chinese airlines offer bargain business flights to Europe

[markis10]

Yes, that looks pretty good. Which route?

Still wouldn't convince me to go to Europe via China on a Chinese airline.

Why? Can’t be worse than QF.

Cost Business fare of 14K compared to 6K would have got me thinking. Especially if cash is tight. And need for luxury is importent.

Both thinking Qantas is the alternative. Would NEVER pay QF's ludicrous pricing for the quality of their product. See post #14. SQ day flight Award, then QSuites. A$6.5K MEL-CDG.

Not really fair to compare Award prices to fully paid, but point taken. My main routing these days is SQ award to SIN & return, then QR revenue to Europe and return to SIN. About A$6K total cash outlay on 1st tier airlines.

It's not, but it is at the same time "cash paid" fare. Just treating as a super sale. Let's just say i have earnt very little Aeroplan points, but i have used quite a bit.

Locally, according to data published by Air Services Australia, the average daily service flown by China Southern and China Eastern increased by 38 per cent and 29 per cent, respectively. According to the national aviation agency, those carriers flew more daily services than Qatar Airways, Malaysia Airlines, and United Airlines in December.

Sorry im deliberately not spelling it out in exact detail. These are the kinds of things I don't necessarily want to end up on blogs. There should be enough information there to piece together with some basic maths involved.

Appreciate your desire to keep some things less visible, @elanshin. The less the broader market knows the better, especially the numerous American “Bloggers” seeking that extra click for the extra 0.001c to highlight their greed.

But what you’re referring to is hardly a secret among those who follow different FF programs. There are some blogs that spell this out in sufficient detail to make it relevant to Aussies.
