The second routing is a 5m charge for exceeding MPM

Have been to Bejing and Shanghai, got a visa and never asked for anything, no one wanted to see airline ticket.

Starting to get more credible reports from multiple places that as of January 1, 2013, certain nationalities will get an expanded 72 hours to Transit Without Visa at PEK, and of course leaving the airport will be allowed. If this is true, we should start hearing of some field-tested successes in several weeks, and will be able to verify directly with front-lines Immigration at PEK. Once confirmed that people are achieving the 72 hours, we'll update relevant Stickys.
In the meantime, this particular report lays out the relevant nationalities quite clearly: http://www.wcarn.com/cache/news/22/22734.html Other requirements of the TWOV (international to international itinerary) still apply. And nationalities not on this favored list still get 24 hours to transit without visa. It is assumed that if a double-stop transit inside China is planned where PEK is the first or second stop, that rules currently applicable (24 hour total limit inside China) will still apply. |

72 hour could help with some of these multi-day MR tix restrictions - IF something like a US city X-PEK-NRT-back to the states would qualify as a transit. Just not sure if a connection only in NRT would qualify. And apologies for wandering toward the edge of this topic... |

I booked a trip first week of Jan at about $860 SEA-LAX-ORD-PEK-ORD-SEA. |
Just booked a SEA-ORD-PEK-ORD-SEA R/T for $659 a/i but the SEA-ORD-SEA flights are on AS with no upgrades. oh well, still a great deal for the miles. Hope my visa application now in does come back for a multiple entry so I don't have to pay up again after my Jan visit.
Thanks for the updates! |

Several 3-5 day trips in JAN, FEB and MAR on UA for $750 per ITA but routes through SFO instead of ORD so not nearly as good a cpm
And SEA-NRT-PEK-NRT-SEA with ANA for $769. Not a mileage run but it is still a good price, and you get 20 hours flying in the 787 :) |
From Ben's blog:
http://boardingarea.com/blogs/onemil...ing-next-year/ The fare goes down to $597 in March. There were $611 in April as well. I got on in April for $654 (Fri-Mon) SEA-DFW-ORD-PEK-ORD-SEA for 3.7cpm |
