This years I went in January to Harbin, the northern Chinese City to visit the amazing and impressive Harbin Ice and Snow World. I found a great offer from BA just 3 weeks before departure for € 1770.
I checked today and even booking it in advance is available for a good price of € 2023 which are 2370 USD. Good availability in Jan/Feb 2019
The complete segments are MUC-LHR-PVG-HRB-PVG-LHR-MUC.
BA services Shanghai with 777 and 787. While we all know that BA's C class is ridiculously sub par I was able to get a window seat during the return flight on a 787.
