I am planning a trip to Beijing & Hong Kong in July. Rates right now are quite high ($1500). Last year at about this time the rates were also on the higher end - I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Asian destinations and flight rates - will they drop for the summer sometime soon or will these rates remain pretty high. Last year I flew to NRT for $813.48 bought in April. Currently rates to NRT are also about $1400. With the new routes to begin by UAL from DC, will summer rates to PEK improve?

Thanks!
