At least I have hotels in place at OK prices.
A fellow FTer recently gave me 2 good tips:
1) AC availability is decent
2) UA to NGO availability is excellent
Re #2, as soon as CA joins *A in December, it should be possible to tack NGO-PEK/PVG onto existing itins (though non-1Ks will have to pay $100 in order to accomplish this AND an overnight in Japan is unavoidable).
