DL/AA/UA US-PEK J class $2200
Hey guys, not sure if this is a big discounted deal, but I'm seeing a lot of J class fares from cities like ORD and RDU to PEK for $2200 RT. It includes both legs on DL's new A350 suites, which seems to be outrageously cheap given my usual spend of $4-5K for these business trips to China.

Any thoughts?
Thanks.

It's a very good price but also on those routes you'll notice that new Premium Economy cabin is on sale for as little as $609 R/T (and usually $609-$750). GREAT price for PE. Especially since most connecting legs are in domestic first class.
BOS will be your cheapest routing but GSO and RDU also have the fares. All through April..

Being discussed here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premium-fare-deals/1884084-bos-pek-delta-a350-premium-economy-618-a.html
Booked a UA fare last year out of BOS to PEK via SFO. Lieflat all the way on PS and 77w.
Almost booked DL 359 as well on the same route via DTW, but I will have sufficient MQD this year based on partner flights crediting to DL.

It will earn 20% for I but make sure the asterisk is there next to the fare code or else the account will be credited based on fare paid not distance.

Award Calculations
I have researched and see AA vacations is laying out a deal on the BOS-PEK Pkg. My question is how are the awards to be attributive. There is the " * " on each flight so is apears you say the awards miles, EQD's & EQM's are mileage based going to the AA FF program? Please help me calculate each of these as AA sees them in calculating.
Thanks

According to the tables at this link https://www.aa.com/i18n/aadvantage-p...cial-fares.jsp you will earn the following amount based on distance:
BOS-DFW (1,562 miles)
3,124 EQMs
$391 EQDs
DFW-PEK (6,971 miles)
13,942 EQMs
$1,394 EQDs
For a total earnings of 17,066 EQMs and $1,785 EQDs for the outbound sector alone. If we assume the exact same routing and fare classes for the return trip then you will earn $3,570 EQDs and 34,132 EQMs for the full round trip. Hope this helps!

Good find. I wish there were better options from PEK to other asian countries like Japan, Thailand, Singapore, etc. to take advantage of this fare but actually go somewhere a little more tourist friendly.

Perfect, so the asterisks are there next to the fare class for both flights... BOS-DFW is booked in D and DFW-PEK in I.

Another question about AA Vacations. Another AA Vacation I'm looking at is a PE fare between BOS & PEK. If special fare chart is handle this as a Q & P class, how did you break up the fight into $/segment.? So able to go to the chart and multiply times 10% & 30% by segment for EQD's.
Also the special fares chart shows P as a first class fare where the seating is PE in this flight?
Vacation = - $1,300 depending on hotel choice.
