With MU, you get what you pay for. There is NO WAY I would ever transit through mainland China. Don't care how cheap it is. Not worth it. I know quite a few people who did CZ from Aussie to Europe via CAN and they all said never again.
I envision MAN eventually going daily. Who knows. There might even be a 6th daily to LHR or a 5th daily to LAX.
