How can I find cheap flights to Beijing at Christmas?

I booked my holiday with my youngest daughter and my granddaughter in Beijing two weeks ago at £650. Now my middle daughter, her husband and my other grandaughter cannot find a flight for less than £900, which they simply cannot afford. The two little girls (aged 6 and 3) are desperate to see each other again after a six month separation - has anyone any ideas? Please?

    Try sky scanner, this gives all the companies prices.

    I'm seeing from GLA or MAN with KLM or AF for £700.
    LHR with Aeroflot for £615, or KLM/AF for £670.
    Cheapest direct is £890 with BA from LHR.

    Only tried the wednesday before christmas to early january - you may get improved prices if you play with different dates.
