See below for sample search

Works BA F to HKG or PEK, as long as you pass through PEK one direction

Seems to be bookable using Expedia / eBookers and looks like it's just a 14 day advance purchase

In my experience this is more like premium Economy at best. Y seats plus some food.

Interestingly I need to head to Beijing this Sunday thru Wednesday, meaning 2 days advance and no Saturday stay. Cheapest economy was coming out at over £2100!

So.... I checked BA holidays and wow

BA F LHR -> PEK out 14th, return 17th plus hotel for £2231! This means that flights and hotel are cheaper flying First with BA holidays than booking economy flights and hotels separately

It's possible to route via HK for an extra £9 or so each way ,with either CX or KA Business / First

BA holidays saves my skin again :-)

Please tell us which airlines offer fully flat seats with 18" monitors in Y, and food of KA's caliber (i.e. far better than CX or BA), and we'll flock to them.
