HU: PRG-SHA-GMP 655eur OW business

One way available for departures MON,WED,FRI until JUN17. Last leg by Shanghai Airlines which probably causes the quirky pricing.

Books in business/psuedo-first-but-business/eco, credits 125% EY, 110% AB. Not bad for positioning to SHA/SEL.

I assume you would need a Visa to China because of the PEK -> SHA domestic flight.

As long as you transit within 24 hours in China (betwee the time of entry in Beijing and the time of departure from Shanghai), you do not need Chinese visa, in this case.

Good find, mlqsko!

This is actually a Open jaw fare.

Hainan Airlines fare basis: ILRTCZT, IKRTCZT, IHRTCZT from Prague to Shanghai costs 18.000 CZK + taxes for return ticket
By combining a cheap ticket between Shanghai - Seoul, it will be a Open jaw (between Prague and Seoul), thus only half part of the Prague-Shanghai fare will apply (18.000 CZK / 2 = 9.000 CZK).

One can also combine with other fare out of Shanghai to other destinations but Seoul is the cheapest destination.

Yeah, I don't have the time to dissect all fares I find as it is just too time consuming.

I don't think this is true. You will need a Chinese visa.

As long as you leave China before 24 hours elapses after you first land in China, you will not need a visa. Have done it before.
