US$1250 Air China Business Class Fare from Guangzhou to USA
Air China has published discounted roundtrip business class fare from Guangzhou to selected destinations in the USA, from as low as US$1250. These fares are bookable for travel in November 2019.
These fares are available from Guangzhou to San Francisco and Los Angeles, with layovers in Beijing. Air China operates both the domestic sector and the transpacific sector with a wide variety of aircrafts, from Boeing 747–8, 787–9, 777–300ER to Airbus A350.
You can simply search for the fares on Google Flight before choosing to book either at Trip.com or Air China’s website, though it seems that booking through Air China’s website seems to offer slightly cheaper fare compared to Trip.com.
For example, you can fly from Guangzhou to Los Angeles via Beijing and back on the 747, 787–9 and 777 for CNY8866 (~US$1250):
Or Guangzhou to San Francisco via Beijing and back on the 747 and 777 also for CNY8866 (~US$1250):
Air China’s business class product is configured in a 2–2–2 layout (2–2 layout on the upper deck of 747), meaning you do not get direct aisle access if you decide to pick a window seat. Although it is not an industry leading product, I would say it does represent significant value for those who have plans to travel to the US from South China and Hong Kong.
On the other hand, flying at the tip or on the upper deck of the Air China 747 could be an interesting opportunity for those who have not experienced it before.
