I fly on MU a lot, always book with agents, and have never had any issues. MU is definitely selling LAX for September onwards, but this is no guarantee that the flights will operate. Apparently, if they provide sufficient notice of cancellations their rebooking obligations are minimal.

I was checking September US-China flights today, and noticed that MU is selling LAX-PVG for $1200 in economy and $2400 in business on many dates, both of which are great deals compared to everything else on offer. However YariGuy warned me that this flight doesn't exist now and there's no telling when it will actually resume.

The chart that travelinmanS posted in 681 suggests that CA has two US routes.
Good luck getting back...hope the trip home is going well.

Sounds like boosters are being recommended in the US nowadays. Wondering if it would be better to get a Pfizer (aka BioNTech) or a Chinese vaccine ...

On which one to take, I have done both. I just read somewhere that Singapore just announced mixing both if one chooses to take both in full or for booster.
My view is don't delay. Take it still better than not taking it. Take one and see how antibody develops in your body and see if you need to redo with a different type of just as booster. Each body reacts different to different vaccine.

I also got Pfizer here (second dose tomorrow).
On a related note, I'm getting closer and closer to attempting to fly back via Thailand. If I take the plunge, I'll apply for an actual Thai visa which would give me up to 90 days to sort things out over there, plus something more real than an entry stamp to show the PRC consulate. I'm also in no rush to do the quarantine drill.

I did Moderna a pretty long time ago so this could be my "booster" haha.
From what I understand Sinopharm (https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/vaccines/5/) and Sinovac (https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/vaccines/7/) are both 2 dose.
CanSino (https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/vaccines/2/) seems to be one dose:
Argentina: 7 day quarantine
Chile: non residents cannot enter
Ecuador: seems to be rolling out https://www.elcomercio.com/tendencia...n-ecuador.html
Hungary: I did some poking around and they seem to be giving Sinopharm instead
Malaysia: non residents cannot enter
Mexico: might be possible
Pakistan: need >6 month visa but seems doable Pakistan rolls out locally produced Chinese CanSino vaccine - Xinhua | English.news.cn
