Thanks for the warm welcome and helpful tips.

I didn't post details because i saw a thread which i read to say that i couldn't ask for price help.

Nonetheless I am traveling the world with my children and will have made it to Beijing by July 6th. I have every connection sorted out except for the hop across the pacific.
Now, the problem lies in the fact i am detailing the journey and am predominantly focusing on traveling with children on a global scale on a budget. So as im sure you can understand i need to make sure i get the cheapest possible flight.
I had hoped to get booked on a freighter but my daughter is only 4 and this is not allowed. Having looked extensively at cruises i feel our only option is to cheat and take a flight.
My dates are so flexible since i don't need to be in New York until late August for our cruise back to the UK.
Essentially i can travel from Beijing as far south as Singapore or even to the Philippines or Japan.

Additionally i am driving across the US so can't book a car until the Pacific crossing is sorted out.

The best i have found so far is from HKG to LAX at £1120 for 1 adult and 2 children ages 4/7

It might be worth noting i have approx 100k miles with VS and am willing to use these.

Thanks again
