Getting Sectors Ex PVG
 

Anyone have any ideas or experience in doing a sector run out of Shanghai? I just moved here at the end of last year and it seems I won't be doing as many long hauls as I used to.

I was trying to check some pricing to fly to other cities in China but it seems that the book engine doesn't let you select a city within China.

I fly to HKG about twice a month but with that I think I might run a bit short on sectors for my renew later this year at the pace.

It looks like TPE would be the best bet for a few quick sectors. But I will be going to the US late August so I could just hop around on AA to get it done.

Any thoughts?

I tried to price some ex-PVG sector run before and found out ex-XMN give more bang for the money. My plan was to do HKG-XMN then XMN-HKG-BKK

You can try to price China-HKG-BKK vv which should be reasonable cheap, other than that there's not much choice.

If you know you're going to US, then I might save the sector running until then. AA's been running some 29 dollar one-way LAX-LAS and DFW-Tyler (trying locating that one on the map :D)
You might need to upfare it possibly, those $29 fares might be an O fare.
If your game, you can probably get 3 full turns/6 sectors a day out of the way.
Try to plan your trips with a Flagship lounge so you can shower and eat off AA :p


That being said, 6 sectors is pretty standard for people doing segments out here. Some can do 8 a day, if their scheduling permits it.
Once in awhile, you can find insane deals like the DCA-DFW-DEN for 29 one-way, came out to 25 bucks with tax per segment for that, simply golden :)

Now me doing this JFK-SFO-DFW-BNA-DFW-SFO-DFW-ICT-DFW-SFO-DFW-YYZ in a 3 day mileage run, that was fun. 8 straight AA meals :eek:
