Sorry I do not have specific quotes - but I would really appreciate any advice and help.
I am looking into booking a return flight to Beijing for my nephew within the next 3 weeks, staying for between 7 and 10 days.
I keep seeing headline prices of £700, and even tonight checked out a Lufthansa deal which is advertised as about £500 - but again any dates end of July or August are over £1900 return.
Flights from Birmingham would be great, but Luton or any London airport would be ok if it is a good price.
Obviously non-stop would be preferable, but 1 stop would be ok as long as it is not 17 hours stop (or some of the other lengthy stops I have seen)
Could any kind soul point me in the right direction?
Many thanks in advance0 -
