Worth noting though that fares of around 1750USD (with taxes/fees) are available *from* various EU start points to HKG/PEK/PVG for the same restricted "first international flight" dates (lowest price from DUB as far as I have found so far - as it happens I made use of the same fare two years ago for a DUB-PEK/PEK-CDG trip)

Exactly how are people searching for biz fares and city pairs and ranges of dates (say like July Aug summer holidays)?
Is it just google flights and then dig through expert flyer?
