UA EWR/IAD to PVG/CTU $500, for 19K PQM
EWR-SFO-CTU or EWR-NRT-CTU (NRT-CTU on ANA) for $440 or a few dollars more and approximately 19K PQM. If on all UA flights, there will be two full days at Chengdu. There are a few dates this year and a lot of dates between Feb and April, 2019. The bonus is that you can find EWR-SFO on 787-10 on some dates (grab Premium economy seats with Gold+ status for free.).

Credit goes to the flight deal.

Kxmu, once again I thank you. I was able to na b 2 RTs all on UA metal, thereby able to use a large ecert. And, I am still benefiting from your $303 China informative postings. Now, looking for some other CTU itineraries for April 19. Any available 2 nights that you can quote from the top of your head?

Also available out of LGA, and while I didn't explicitly look up the fare rules, appears to have zero advance purchase restriction.

The deal is gone, I guess! I have three bookings, Mar. 2-5 (CTU-NRT on ANA), 23-27 and Apr. 29-May 3. I may cancel the second one. We might be able to meet on one of these flights.

Edit: paid $120 (net was $70) to change EWR-CTU to IAD-CTU. Both are now $395.

It may come back!
I would not be surprised that this deal will come back in the near future. Just keep check the price of this route and report back here if the price drops!

Is CTU a Transit Without Visa city, if I were to transfer from there to say, Hong Kong or Japan?

Yes it is. Most of the major cities are now, the biggest remaining outlier is SZX unfortunately.

Chengdu is a pretty cool place by the way, worth staying at least a full day to visit the Panda Sanctuary and enjoy some amazing Sichuan food.

I thoroughly enjoyed Chengdu and would gladly go back someday. I took UA and the flight was half empty.

I really hope this deal returns. I am tired of PEK and PVG.

FYI -- just found RTs from EWR-SFO-CTU for some dates in March for $609. Looks like the deal isn't done yet! It is a full week though -- 5 days in Chengdu, not two.
