Air China / Domestic Business Class Question (PEK-CKG)
Hi,
what advantages do I have booking Air China dom. business class from Peking to Chonquing. I know, that the hard product is not really better compared to Y, but concerning ground services in PEK are there advantages, like good lounges, fast track security ... ?
Thanks for your help!

What moondog said. If on your dime, not worth springing for.
The only possible exception would be if you are close to making a status level on some other *A FFP which gives a bonus % for flying CA J class and the total miles would put you over the top.

For a $30 surcharge, I would do biz, but I'm guessing you're not researching the proper channels. Tell us your dates and desired flights, and we'll set you straight.

Well, speaking of my own experience on a recent PEK-CAN flight of my own, I was glad I paid the extra for the discounted business class seat. I spent 6hrs on the ground and 2.5hrs in the air.
The cabin crew kept us well hydrated and fed, and the limited IFE helped to while away the time waiting for "air traffic control" to release the flight.

C didn't seem to be worth it, just to sit in a lounge and get some more food on a 2hrs flight..

Assuming you can read Chinese, qunar will help you find the best possible fare, but I usually just use ctrip myself. Elong is also a decent resource with an English interface. Booking Y is generally a silly proposition; either pay for F, or try to save money.
