Not cheap by any means and I’m lucky to have my usa home in a departure city to China negating the need for the flight to and 2 days stay in the city before departure, but still not completely unreasonable considering I was usually dropping $3.5k on a RT biz ticket pre-Covid at least twice a year.

The real pain is the timesuck of the quarantine.
