This beats 250K Y award or 600K J award, standard on this flight by a mile.
I hope that situation in China would improve in 2 months.
Otherwise, I am seriously considering to abandon this ticket.
As you agree, it's no fun in China now. Insane zero COVID policy.
Absent a complete change of policy the situation here will continue to deteriorate. Covid zero whilst battling Omicron is a nightmare for anyone caught in the middle.
As moondog says you can keep your ticket right up until the day of before you cancel but I can’t see wanting to go through whatever you’d need to go through to get into China as being worth it unless you’re visiting a sick or dying family member.
China will be here for visiting once this madness is over, until then I would advise giving it a wide berth even at the risk of losing a screaming mileage ticket deal.
