AC fares to PEK
I'm in the process of booking a trip to PEK and while Tango fares ex-NA are quite cheap, most Flex fares are quite ridiculous.
I was just wondering whether anyone is aware of any good Flex (or PE) fares to PEK. Pretty flexible with regards to departure city.
The best Flex fares I can find are in the $1850-$2000 range which isn't all that exciting. I also considered flying to another city in Asia such as PVG, HKG, NRT, but couldn't find any particularly exciting fares either. (Canada-HKG in PE for $2.2k isn't too bad, but not a bargain per se).
If anyone happens to be aware of any good fares, any input (or a PM) would be much appreciated. Thanks!

HU used to have some very good YYZ-PEK-YYZ discount business class fare for about $3,500 all-in. I think that they are still available. HU uses 787 on the YYZ-PEK route.
I wouldn't recommend their Y but is competitively priced at about $1,200~1,300 all-in for YYZ-PEK-YYZ.

Thanks! I've had a look at those fares and have also played around with some other fares (such as the Circle Pacific fares), but with the current 3x miles promo for AC flights to Asia I'm leaning towards a simple round-trip on AC (which would earn me >50,000 miles as a SE).

The promo is discussed in this thread, may have been targetted, at least you had to sign up and then received an individualized code.
Have you considered CA ex-YVR? They used to have some very attractive discount business class fares. You'll get some AQM but not the 3X promotion.

You only get 125% AQM on CA J plus it doesn't count towards the 50% Ac minimum AQM miles

Yes, targeted.

If one's travel pattern will fall short of 100K any way, price and itinerary are the two most important factors that I would look for.
No other Altitude status tier below the 100K SE is worth the extra effort to attain unless eUpgrade is the only form of payment available to fly in J.
