AA/DL: BOS-PEK ~$577/$569 Fall dates ~3.6 CPM

November wide open but excellent availability in September. Some October and December. Hopefully AA will still earn 100% in AS when I fly. for AA the overwater flights are scheduled as Dreamliner. My AA was $577. Base fare is only $200 RT, the rest is fuel surcharge, taxes, etc. Legit fare, not a mistake fare.

DL through DTW
AA through ORD & DFW. ORD outbound and DFW return netted the most miles for me without increasing the fare. wasn't worth an extra $100 or so for the extra miles but others may feel differently

HU out of BOS has been charging under $700 RT non-stop so not sure if this is a hit against HU.

I wasn't going to go for more status with AS but sadly I screwed up my Xi'an side trip on the HU CSX J fare and I really want to go back so this is my chance

To add for those that don't know - Here are TWOV rules. I'm glad I have my 10 year china visa, it was worth it so I don't have to worry about throw away or refundable flights to HKG

google.com/flights Put in BOS to PEK as teh search parameters. On the calendar scroll through the months you will start seeing it in september. November seems to be nearly every date. The dates should be in green. You can also specify by airline.

For AA, pretty much every day in November is available. Less available now in September, October and first week of December.

If one wants a last minute one AA is $523 departing April 21 and returning April 25th, or for same price return in May.

I'm going to jump on this for a buddy. The longer stay would be fun. It's my 'offseason'.

RT - Reminder - You need VISA. I dropped my passport yesterday at Chinese Embassy and no RUSH or EXPEDITED requested were being accepted.

Best AA MR I've seen. Being Plat/ExPlat this is awesome. 36406 miles. That's like 500$ itself (at least for the flights I book as award) + the 4 stickers you get. And the EQMs, yea.

Seriously.

Seemingly is mostly an Oct-Dec thing right now.
