AA: LAX-PVG $600-$660 (3.3-3.7 cpm)

These trips are 5-7 day duration starting next week. They route through ORD both directions leading to ~17,500 miles.

Some trips might have an overnight in ORD.

The $600 fares are very limited - few days later this month and early next month.
Greater availability of $660 fares. Prices out on AA.com and major OTAs.
The shatner site seems to price them lowest (prices quoted above) with AA and other OTAs 20-30 $more.

Have fun

On a related note, UA has IAD-PVG via ord for $817. 5.1 CPM.

Nice find especially for those who want a Chinese New Year in China.

I'm not able to see this fare on shatner, ita, or aa. Any sample dates I could try? I'm hoping to depart around 2/12. Thanks!

bummer, that means Chinese visa as well, unless one breaks up their trip w/out of China trip.

Thanks for posting!

@surfingsd - AA fares not available around your date..look at Feb 2-Feb 10 to see fares I am talking about. I see fares leaving after your dates but noting around 12th on AA. Delta/UA have similar fares on other dates you might want to check that.

Example of the best deal is if you leave on Jan 31 and come back Feb 8/9- you can get fare for $598.40 with 17,500 miles.

It's an annual thing inside of the Chinese New Year. Most people flee China then. If you really like the sound of fireworks when you sleep have a run at it.

"Most" of the 1.3 billion Chinese flee the country. Roll eyes.
Great deal. Booked a long weekend via DL. Thanks OP.

I don't think UA likes this AA fare. . . they've got DFW-PVG for $599.

Sample dates: 30JAN - 06FEB.

I couldn't find it on any dates for the reverse routing, PVG-LAX.

Anyone have any luck with that?
