Flights to China very soon.

Hi. Help needed. Flights Manchester to Beijing needed for Sunday or Monday. Anything less than £1000 is up for consideration. Max 2 stops. Really struggling to find anything. It’s one way. Will consider other uk airports. Thanks for any help.

    Tuesday is cheaper.

    Btw If your reason for travel is 'compassionate', I hope it isn't, a compassionate fare may work.

  • Is there any potential return date? £1,400ish for both single and return direct.

    Ethiad and Qatar, one change, coming in at around £1,150 single.

    Give Trailfinders a call and see if they have any flight+hotel deals on one of the Middle East airlines, or Singapore airlines or Cathay Pacific, with one night in a hotel.

    Probably heading to Heathrow and getting a flight from there will be advantageous for cost...a number of one-way options under £500

    Hope it isn't a 'the price has changed' agent.

    Me too! Can they do that once they have taken your card details? They said we should hear in about 4 hours, which is about now. Will let you know.

    Cheapest is Azerbaijan Airlines from Paris on Sunday 12hr 55min with one stop. £555 one way. £730 return.

    But a somewhat tight connection from MAN to CDG.
