Any suggestions ? My wife has a business ticket on PEK-IAD (Z) and wants to come back a day early as her work plans changed. Many thanks for any suggestions
You can try to stand by and ask nicely. They may accommodate your wife if space available. I did it in TPE a few years ago successfully. Only question is would your wife accept an economy seat instead of business if only economy is available.
