Flights to/from China

I'm taking a gap year this coming school year (Sept 07 - Sept 08), teaching in China.
I'm going with an organisation and they're sorting flights from the UK to China for us, but not the return flight, as everyone will want to do something different. Unfortunately, I really can't seem to find anything cheap FROM China TO the UK.
I realise I'm probably looking at totally the wrong sites, and that I might even be better getting a return. Does anyone have any experience with flying to/from China and any good sites that'd make it cheaper for me? The major problem is that I'm not sure how much travelling I'll be doing afterwards, so the booking may have to be rather last minute!

Hi try having a look at the Virgin Atlantic site and then click on "China site". This will then give you Virgin flights originating in China priced in Chinese RMB. Good luck and enjoy your gap year-I travel to China a lot on business and it is a great (and cheap!!) place to live.0

Oasis Hong Kong Airline have flights from £149 plus taxes etc. (£192.33) .They are quoted as selling a small quantity for each flight at £75 but I've yet to find them

Reviews for this airline are pretty good: 'The flight to Hong Kong went very well with two good meals and great service throughout by smiling FAs, a far nicer experience than Qantas airlines.'
