That really isn't a bad price. But I always buy directly from the airline. If there is a problem you'll get more satisfaction dealing with the airline than with expedia.

Ok, Korean is expensive than Air China, (around u$100).

Air china with stopover in Beijing for 72 hours its around u$1126,00 round trip from NYC to BKK.

Now i´m looking for some info about 72h free visa that started January 1, 2013.

Do you know st about it?

thks RHKKMK.

Good luck with Air China. For only $100 difference definitely go with Korean Air. The difference in service and product alone is well worth the money.

If you only care about cost savings, then you should just book the ticket with Air China. If you care *at all* about comfort, service, food and general overall attitude then the difference of even $350 wouldn't matter all that much.

Air China, in my experience, is bottom of the barrel. Sort of like flying a long-haul version of Ryanair.

To me, when you're spending $1k for a ticket and you're flying over 18+ hours, every penny means something--especially if it contributes to your comfort. If it's only about getting there as cheaply as possible then asking the question of who's the best carrier is irrelevant. Just book the cheapest fare.

paragraph 2 above says it all.

you will get there fine, you will have a free stop in china, BUT don't expect any comfort, edible foods, decent, if any, onboard entertainment...
