I much prefer CZ, but the past few years it appears MU has more options in northern China and also intra-Asia. And finding availability on MU has always been a huge pain between lack of award availability and needing to do long sells. MU used to work on EF, but not reliably in 2+ years.
Wow. I did not know it had increased that much! I flew PVG-JFK segment on MU and the total taxes were less than $150 (also included MEL-PVG on FM Shanghai Airlines).
