Pretty amazing.

27k miles flown, one of the legs is a 10hr flight (SYD-HGH in business)
31k MQM (4.5cpm)
18k Skymiles for non-members – 40k for DM
$1400

All math included, feel free to ask for explanations. :)

there are cheaper dates in October/November but fully Economy (exclude Z and Q from ITA)

Great price to Sydney in biz, thanks for sharing.

Edit - ah just looked closer and saw the economy legs. Thought it was all biz at first! Thanks anyways.

Full economy for $830 (T and B fares) - 27974 MQM via JFK-PVG-PEK-NKG-SYD @ 2.9cpm

Includes an overnight in Beijing on the outbound and a 7+ hour layover in Hangzhou on the outbound before then riding coach to SYD. On the return it's an overnight in Hangzhou as well.

This isn't a business fare per se. You do get one of the longer segments in business which is nice. But that's about it. Factor in two hotel nights and/or sleeping in the airport in Beijing and Hangzhou.

I just flew through Hangzhou last week on MF. Not a great airport to be stuck in for a long time. The ST+ lounge was OK but food choice was lacking as was beverage choice.

What's the minimum stay for this fare? 7 days?

How do I book this

Call your local travel agent.

Or use ITA + Script ;)
