BA to Beijing

First off, please excuse the basic questions but I am out of practice after a few years grounded due to the usual recent reasons

I am try to get to Beijing (and back again). BA seems to offer me these flights online. (i.e. it's listed on the website - https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...ghts-to-china; it will take PEK as a destination when booking etc) but it throws an error when asking for a price. Changed the dates a little and still no dice. Google flights is the same offering me only Cathay via HKG as a One World option.

Have BA given up on flying to Beijing, or is this a seasonal break. Or....what?

Thanks

Yes. Well it depends if there's a plane really.

It won't be a BA aircraft then. Shanghai starts on 23 April however. Previously on FT:
When will BA return to mainland China?

Thank you c-w-s. Some things around here don't change.

I forgot it was still a mess out there. Damn.

Note that BA is planning to operate to PKX, not PEK - they switched in 2019.

Also think they are only planning on flying to Beijing four times a week, Monday/Tuesday/Thursday and Saturday.

We had previously booked to fly out on a Friday about 2 months ago (they assumed 7 days a week) but got cancellation notice last week that the Friday flight was cancelled (due to cutting down to 4 days a week)
