Europe to Beijing on SkyTeam - best options?
I need to go to Beijing in October. ITA tells me I can go AF via CDG, KL via AMS, KL+CZ via AMS, or AF/SU via CDG and SVO. It looks like the prices are best on KL and AF, with so little difference in fares between the two as to not matter. Any compelling reasons to pick one of the two - or one of the four?

I've done short flights within Europe, like AMS-CDG, on both KL and AF, but no long stuff yet, and yeah, this will be coach as far as I know, so I guess I'll stick with KL. And no, I wasn't really thinking of paying more to fly SU... just if the fares changed and they had some wonderful sale...
