Hey team, looking for some ticket tips going to China so can utilise the 144hr TWOV, landing/leaving from Beijing
I can find decent J fares on SQ around $4.5k return out of MEL, but wouldn't satisfy requirements for TWOV as in and out of SIN, does anyone have some creative ticket tips that would get us a good value ticket in J that could satisfy TWOV rules? No loyalty to any airlines. I have tried to play around with some multi-city but gets too expensive and I haven't thought of anything creative to satisfy the rules but keep efficient return ticket pricing
Obstacles from other means of access:
- We need to visit Shijiazhuang, is in same region as Beijing so will be covered with the TWOV out of Beijing
- 2 x Adults 1 x Infant
- Travel from HBA but happy to book out of MEL/SYD, often easier with J tickets and can fly up on Y
- Date is somewhat flexible, ideally sometime in November,

Obstacles from other means of access:
- APEC Card: Partner and I run a business which does import goods from China, hence the visit, so could likely get an APEC card each, but need to travel with infant, which rules it out I think
- Just go and get a visa: We are in Hobart, would need to travel to Melbourne to apply as postal applications not currently being accepted, not ideal especially with infant, but certainly possible if no other efficient option
- Side question, if go through this process, would all 3 of us have to go back to Melbourne to pickup passports from visa office? Or could one of us just go? I couldn't find an answer to this
