AC/*A YYZ-PEK $370 13,156eqm 2.8cpm!

Folks - I thought I'd use this myself, but I don't need the mileage with Star. Credit to YYZDeals.com)

YYZ-PEK-YYZ $496 CAD (which is $370 US).

Non-stop, and I'm looking at a 2 hour turnaround time for several combos - ie: November 23/24

Some notes:

These book in K, which credits 100% to UA because it's international.

There is no real option for extended legroom to *A elites without paying extra money. Expect a 31" pitch.

You will need a Chinese visa, unless you have another ticket which takes you out of China so you can qualify for the 27 hour transit visa. Canada-China-Canada does not qualify for a transit visa, because China is your destination, not your transit point.

That is an awesome find, especially with the UA 100% credit.

The only hitch is that there are lots of threads about how the AC 77Ws are an absolute nightmare of discomfort to sit in economy...

I love that it credits 100% to UA but 50% to AP

A bit more money, but for a more comfortable trip for UA Elites with access to E+, YYZ-EWR-PEK is available for $650CDN return on select dates.

works from other CA cities

Rate is also good from other CA cities! I booked (on UA) YOW-EWR-PEK-ORD-YUL-YOW for $500 in January, 2017. G class fare on UA segments, K on AC.

Yes, one of the reasons many are looking to switch away from aeroplan/air canada

In the air canada/aeroplan forum we call it the "slave ship" to be fair it's not that bad compared to discount carriers, but for a "four star" airline that is part of a major alliance, it is awful.

How ironic it is that AC refitted the 773 to have this configuration but the planes are not even full going to the Chinese cities and the fares to China are ultra-competitive.

if its the high density 777 config 398/24/20 that they are using then they are right it will be very uncomfortable. seats are small and hard but if not then great find.
