Gosh...this is a surprise!
Seriously, do you imagine that people who choose the deal are expecting a five star experience?
A backpacker for instance, who takes the opportunity to take a day trip in Beijing/Shenzen/Chengdu. Do you think they would rather save a couple of hundred pounds in the process?
We aren't all one person and we can search Google for reviews if needed.
Have you any actual personal experience?

Rich or poor you will probably need a visa to enter and have a look around. May even need one to spend such a long time in transit.
How much does that add to the price.
I have never flown Air China but IMO if there is an alternative for around £100 more that's what I would book to Thailand.

Tis is a good deal for the budget minded traveller. As far as the visa, China operates a free 24 hour transit visa at certain airports, this is available to UK citzens.

How many seconds would it have taken to check?

You get up to 144 hours( 6 days), with no need for a visa. So a great opportunity to visit the Pandas....
