United MileagePlus (Consolidated) - Airport Lijiang / LJGView Full Version : Airport Lijiang / LJG superking Aug 8, 12, 8:05 pm I can't find this particular airport on United.com? I know Air China flies there.... But it's not even on United.com search.... However, award to JHG(in the same province as above) is searchable, just terrible flight schedule. Any suggestions?

I would call. sfonorth Aug 8, 12, 8:15 pm We flew to LJG as part of multi-leg itinerary in April. I had to call UA for them to book it. Air China only flies from Chengdu (CTU) but it's worth a stop there to see the pandas. Boghopper Aug 8, 12, 8:38 pm True that, come to think of it I was on China Southern or China Eastern when I last flew out of Lijiang. eethan Aug 8, 12, 8:47 pm I think I flew there on MU connecting in Kunming. For intra-Chinese flights, you can find cheaper fares separately on Ctrip.com. Also, the flights can be cheaper even a week before departure. Booking a month in advance may seem reasonable with US airlines, but it's actually pretty far ahead for Chinese airlines. superking Aug 8, 12, 9:28 pm I can fly from my home airport all the way to LJG included in the award. I would stop at CTU, but limited time, I want to hit LJG and JHG in about 10 days or so, then make a visit in another city on the southeastern size. Thanks I will call and book it. mediator Aug 8, 12, 9:29 pm LJG is a popular spot for summer travel. CA usually sells Y fares only and does not release any award spaces. superking Aug 9, 12, 7:55 am LJG is a popular spot for summer travel. CA usually sells Y fares only and does not release any award spaces. I see all the JHG award flights available from CTU on United. Howeverm, LJG is not even an airport listed on United.com JHG only depart at 9:30pm LJG only depart 6am Both times are brutal when I'm coming from the States, I'd need to fly to PEK, then CTU, then JHG or LJG. That's 40+ hours flight with layovers etc. China Eastern provide like 10 flights daily from Kuming, might be a better option if I could find a low mileage award on Delta. |
