It has only 40 YR, looks very suspicious. Is it normal? I know UA YQ for US-China is over $400...
All other US cities I checked has 410 YR to PEK on DL. Only CHI-PEK has 40 YR. Almost surely a fat finger error. Enjoy while last...
By the way, I am always under the impression that each country pair has the same YQ/YR in GDS. How could it be possible for DL to load different YR for CHI-PEK & other US cities-PEK?
